Of course this is possible. Compose is unrelated to actions in the XKB meaning of the term. It is not only possible, it is even implemented in the XIM compose code. You can put <Control_L><a><e> : ae and similar stuff in your .XCompose, and your left control key acts as a Compose key. But you need the latest libX11 for this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 Title: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/36812/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
