"I have sam and I love it" he says. I told him about sam-fans. Perhaps we'll be hearing from him. The thought of a Cyrillic sam put me in mind of something else. The samx extensions stole the X11 Mod1 modifier (usually Alt) for Samkeys, thus making the undocumented Latin1 or unicode composition feature unavailable. I spent some time investigating how to provide alternative access to at least latin1 composition when Samkeys is used, but couldn't manage to get them displayed properly even with a vanilla sam. There was always an 'A' preceding the composed character. Is this a bug, an unfinished project, or a misunderstanding of the feature/code on my part?
