Do we want to keep this feature or eliminate it? Please vote!
In FLTK, pressing the right Ctrl key in combination with two more keystroke will (should - it seems to be broken) combine those two keyboard characters in a more or less meaningful way. For example, Ctrl+A+" could produce Ä (A-Umlaut), etc. . This seems to be broken now that we use UTF8. The compose key is a remainder from the times where international support was rare on Unix and German keyboards were not available on SGI (yes, that's how old that is ;-) I wonder if we should keep composing around at all. Todays X11 clients are well aware of international keyboards, so entering whatever local character should be easily done without FLTK interfering with user settings. BTW, we threw all the FLTK composition stuff overboard on OS X already (their laptops have no right Ctrl key to begin with). Maybe it's time to do that on Unix and MSWindows as well?! - Matthias _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
