No. Compose is a key available only from the X Window System. After hitting Compose (it is not a modifier key), you can enter a known key sequence to get a non-ASCII character; e.g., <Compose> - - - is converted to an em dash (—). Dead keys are available as well, but the Compose mechanism provides access to more characters (because it is not limited to a single combination of modifiers, or a combination of a dead key and a base character). It is more comparable to ISO-1345 input in Emacs/Vim, but acts on a different level (windowing system vs. editor). -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
