Description FreeDesktop Bugzilla Database Corruption Fix User 2005-07-14 23:49:44 UTC

In the lib/X11/locale tree, there are no Multi_key definitions for HORIZONTAL
ELLIPSIS U2026.

Now I know there are some keyboards that ship with an ellipsis key, but I don't
have one.  So it would be good to have a Multi_key combination that does this. 
I suggest that <Multi_key> <comma> <period> be used, as this is easy to type on
most keyboards, requiring four keystrokes at most.

Horizontal ellipsis is U+2026 (…).
The majority of the members of the punctuation Unicode group is missing from the Compose file. It would make sense to add the whole lot in a uniform way, instead of creating single sequences.

In any case, here is the missing compose sequence,

<Multi_key> <period> <period> <period>     : "…" U2026 # HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS

Bugzilla Upgrade Mass Bug Change

NEEDSINFO state was removed in Bugzilla 3.x, reopening any bugs previously listed as NEEDSINFO.

Looks good to me in the current libX11

~/src/freedesktop/src/libX11/nls/en_US.UTF-8 (master) $ grep … *
Compose:<Multi_key> <period> <period>    	: "…"   ellipsis # HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
Compose.pre:<Multi_key> <period> <period>    	: "…"   ellipsis # HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
