Hi all,
I’ve switched to Linux only recently, and am very sad that I had to abandon WinCompose. For those who don’t know, it is a taskbar application which allows you to toggle “compose-mode” with your R-Alt key and then combine multiple keystrokes to create special characters in an intuitive way. For example, Alt -> U -> “-” becomes Ū. Is there an alternative to this for Linux? I’m on Zorin OS 17.1 Core, specifically. To clarify, I’m not looking for a symbol table add-on. I’m looking for something that I can utilise with only my keyboard.
Thanks in advance!
Check your keyboard layout. Perhaps add whatever language keyboard you are looking to use the characters from? In my case, I couldn’t find a Welsh keyboard but the UK English keyboard has keystrokes for characters like ŵ. That could potentially be an option.
