Compose

Compose adds the functionality of a compose key to Windows, a feature commonly seen on Linux systems which allows the user to easily write special characters and accented letters.

Features

  • Customizable key binding
  • Tray icon notifications
  • Keyboard LED notifications (optional)

Downloads

See releases for the latest stable version.

How to use

The usage is simple; you hit a designated hotkey that acts as the compose key, followed by a two-letter combination of keys.

For example, if you've bound the compose key to the Control key, you can write the character á by executing the following key combination: ctrl+'+a.

A full list of combinations supported can be found in Symbols.md.

Right-click the tray icon to access the settings, where you'll be able to bind your compose key.

Disclaimer

This software has only been tested on Windows 7 and later, I can not guarantee it will work on any earlier systems.

Please report any bugs you might find, and feel free to suggest a feature.

Contributing

This is the first software I've ever developed on the Windows platform (and using C#), so I have no idea if the code is up to par with any convention.

Feel free to contribute by forking and sending me pull requests.
