Description Pander 2009-01-03 08:56:19 UTC

In /usr/share/doc/libx11-data offer PDF for each /usr/share/X11/locale/*/Compose and call these compose-en_US.pdf or something.

Each of these PDF will have a table listing the entire contents of the Compose file but with a little slightly improved layout.

Users can view or print these PDF and get educated about the power of the compose key. By making the functionality of compose more visible, compose will be used more ofter, feedback will be improved and users will appriciate xorg even more.

Something like:

  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GtkComposeTable

I assume that GNOME is using the Compose mappings of xorg directly, not?

no. gtk has its own compose table.

Comment 3 Pander 2009-01-04 06:18:57 UTC

Where con I find the source or configuration of the GTK compose table?

Comment 4 Alan Coopersmith 2010-09-21 20:26:37 UTC

A fix for this has been pushed to git master for the upcoming libX11 1.4
release to generate DocBook docs from the Compose tables automatically,
and from those generate html & pdfs.   These should be installed under
$(docdir)/Compose, normally /usr/share/doc/libX11/Compose/.
