Public bug reported: According to manual https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComposeKey it is possible to define sequences to type characters and strings with Compose key. In Ubuntu 18.04 sequences work for characters but not for strings, line like this: <Multi_key> <b> <t> <w> : "by the way" # Compose b t w seems to be ignored.
