As I said earlier I do not need this functionality. I was just curious. As long as the option to use a compose key keeps working for a standard US keyboard I am happy as I just need the compose key for diacriticals in the western European languages. A standard US keyboard works best for me, NOT the US international or the UK one (I once tried the UK and got some weird surprises). So I am certainly not 'going to create my own layout'. My quest stops here. Thanks to everybody for replying. This aside I am surprised these options are given in Gnome/KDE/etc without further explanation if it is so complicated and so dependent on the choice of keyboard and/or it's layout. And I don't understand the remarks about the keypad. I have never seen a keypad with $/€/%/& signs (and I hate keypads (especially on laptops) they make you sit "twisted" and on a loose keyboard they also take away mouse room (and strain the upper arm muscles)). (And I have had enough occasion to use numbers: data analysis, simulation/research and such and the "top row" has always been sufficient for my needs). This is in reply to Samuel Sieb but also to everybody who replied.
