The simple answer to that question is no. There is a similar page which is somewhat less obsolete, even if also that one needs to be updated: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey But such tutorials are user contributions, and there is no team or individual who is responsible for maintaining them. So what you can do is applying to get edit access and try to improve them yourself. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide#Contributing I'm inclined to think that <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComposeKey> should be deleted and the other page updated. > On my Ubuntu 18.04 "Keyboard input method system" gives me options > IBus, XIM and none. > > Is there any known advantage of choosing IBus there? > (I am trying to understand why XIM is not a default.) Given that Ubuntu is now on GNOME, which relies on IBus to a large extent, IBus will keep being default. XIM is old, sometimes problematic (see e.g. bug #1573755), and will probably be dropped completely if/when Ubuntu switches from X to Wayland. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845332 Title: Compose key does not create strings Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: According to manual https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComposeKey it is possible to define sequences to type characters and strings with Compose key.
