Hi all.
I know that whatever drives me round the bend, aka keyboards in xorg
does not accept more than one unicode character per key. (I sincerely
wish that I am wrong or have missed something).
I also believe that there is someway around this limiattion by putting
a file, IIRC, $HOME/.xcompose, or something like that.
My question is, how to overcome the limitation? I want to create a
keyboard layout, which needs multiple unicode characters per
keystroke, I believe that I can create some package which will put the
required layout somewhere under /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols, and
something in /etc/skel/. But that will not help in every situation.
Please dont ask me to look at input methids like m17n or
whatever. Nothing works the way I want (as a plain user), and more
importantly, such things are not installed by default. Net result is
that my probably victims aka "possible converts", who already curse me
for not allowing the "easy" OS, get the last laugh when they point out
that I am not able to give them the typewroter layouts.
