(Well, I'm suspecting that I shouldn't disorient your work with that comment about numerology and last numbers). I'd better take something like 0x10005001 - 0x100050FF Also, 8-bit was about character names -- your fancy i without dot and c with caron, better spell keysyms with it like i_without_dot_ring_above and c_with_caron_dot_below, and not include unicode symbols with values over 0x7F in keysym names. > > Thanks again and sorry if my question is too "easy". > > Best, > > Pierre-Luc > > Le 13/03/2019 ?? 09:00, Ilya Anfimov a ??crit : > > > > > > Le 12/03/2019 ?? 15:16, Ilya Anfimov a ??crit : > > > > i_breve_below etc. are indeed names that I have created and as you rightly > > > wrote, I should add them to /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h > > > Well, better don't.
