Re: Compose and dead-keys support in libxkbcommon
I'm sure this was discussed, but wouldn't it be better to encourage use of the input method rather than giving programmers who only want latin an easy way to ignore it?

Re: Compose and dead-keys support in libxkbcommon
libxkbcommon forms part of the input method.

Re: Compose and dead-keys support in libxkbcommon
Yes I understand that an input method process would call this. But it could be code in that input method rather than in a library normal clients have to link with. I'm asking whether it is a good idea to give applications such an easy way to ignore the input method by calling this directly.
