=head1 XCompose
19+
20+
Xorg includes digraph support using a Compose key
21+
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key#GNU.2FLinux .
22+
The default of AltGr + Shift can be remapped to something easier such as
23+
Capslock. In GNOME2 2 and MATE this can be setup under
24+
Preferences → Keyboard → Layouts → Options → Position of Compose Key.
25+
So, for example, to input »+« you could type CAPSLOCK > > + CAPSLOCK < <
26+
27+
XCompose allows customising the digraph sequences using a .XCompose file and
28+
https://github.com/kragen/xcompose/blob/master/dotXCompose is an extremely
29+
complete one. In GNOME, XCompose was overridden and replaced with a
30+
hardcoded list, but it is possible to restore XCompose by setting
31+
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim in your environment. It might be necessary to install
32+
a xim bridge as well, such as uim-xim.
