Feature: Compose support #118

Open snakeroot opened 10 years ago

snakeroot commented 10 years ago

Now that libxkbcommon will have Compose support could that be implemented in kmscon as well, preferably with the compose key being designated in the same manner as in X (xkb_options=compose:lwin)?

Hi, any news on it? It would be so great to have compose key working!

There is this patch I wrote to test compose support: https://github.com/bluetech/kmscon/tree/compose

I updated it now to work with the compose API in the released version of xkbcommon. It works if you don't mind compiling.

Note that for some reason I made the compose support default off, so you need to pass --compose (in addition to something like --xkb-options=compose:ralt) for it to work.

@bluetech great, that works perfectly! thx.

@dvdhrm any plan to include the corresponding patch into main stream? It allows me to use kmscon as my primary interface and only occasionally start xorg.
