Open myrkat opened 8 years ago

Missing all the various religious symbols (I'm probably leaving some out, like 🕂☨ 🕁 ⁜ 🕈): Cross, East Syriac ♱ U+2671 Cross, Latin ✝ U+271d Cross, Long † U+2020 Cross, Maltese ✠ U+2720 Cross, Orthodox ☦ U+2626 Cross, St. Andrew's ☓ U+2613 (though, a simple capital X would do - ignore this one) Cross, West Syriac ♰ U+2670 Star & Crescent (Islam) ☪ U+262a Chinese Tathagata (Buddhism) 卐 U+5350 (also, Nazi Swastika) -and/or- Chinese Tathagata (Buddhism) 卍 U+534D

You can already define your own key sequences by running notepad %USERPROFILE%\.Xcompose.txt and adding the following lines to the file.

<Multi_key> <c> <r> <o> <s> <s> <e> <s> : "♱"
<Multi_key> <c> <r> <o> <s> <s> <l> <a> <t> : "✝"
<Multi_key> <c> <r> <o> <s> <s> <l> <o> <n> <g> : "†"

See https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose/blob/master/src/rules/DefaultUserSequences.txt for more documentation.

After editing the file, restart WinCompose.

Does that solve the issue for you? If you want to have these sequences in the official releases, they need key sequences like these that do not interfere with the other sequences in https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose/tree/master/src/rules/.

Yes, that works for me, I've assigned them to <+> , so I hit scroll lock (what I set as my compose key), plus and something else, depending on the symbol I wish to use.

Thank you!
