Compose is a tiny command-line utility for X11 or Wayland that helps you edit your Compose file to add multi-key sequences.
It uses uni behind the scenes to
let you search for Unicode codepoints by name. For each match, it
scaffolds a blank Compose line for you. You can then paste the line
into your Compose file as a starting point to add the multi-key
sequence.
For example:
$ compose hundred points
: "💯" U1f4af # HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOLPaste the output into your ~/.XCompose file, then add a multi-key
sequence:
<Multi_key> <1> <0> <0> : "💯" U1f4af # HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL
Now you can type Multi 1 0 0 to produce the 💯 emoji.
This utility is for people who write and edit their own Compose files. If you don’t know what a Compose file is, this tool is probably not for you.
To run this program, you need the following programs installed:
You’ll also need an X server or a Wayland compositor that supports Compose files.
Clone this repository to any directory you like.
Direct your favorite
AUR helper to the
compose package.
