I've tried using X11's alt-typing (not sure if that's what it's actually called), and acme isn't doing squat. I'll probably never have an actual use for it, but it would be nice to know. -- Parker Ellertson ================ email: pellertson@firemail.cc ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Works here (on Arch, but I used the same on FreeBSD and Debian) with this in my .xinitrc: 9 mklatinkbd -x $PLAN9/lib/keyboard >$HOME/.XCompose xmodmap -e 'keycode 108 = Multi_key' # for GNOME and QT programs, add export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim export QT_IM_MODULE=xim # https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39547/dead-compose-keys-not-working-in-gtk-apps-since-upgrade/65755#65755 export XMODIFIERS=@im=none Typing ALT, X, four hexadecimal digits works in Acme but not in Firefox for example. The shorthands listed in $PLAN9/lib/keyboard do. Mark. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
