No subject

no compose sequences with modifiers are defined.  As non-modifiers only
trigger on key press, and modifiers only on key release, no additional
syntax is required in the Compose file to distinguish the two cases.

For example,

<Control_L>    : ssharp
<Shift_R> <o>  : odiaeresis

would allow to enter an =C3=9F with the left control key, and an =C3=B6 by a
sequence of right shift key and o.

Why is this useful?  The number of keys in convenient reach for touch
typing is limited.  The proposal would allow to make double use of
modifier keys, some of which have a fairly good position on the keyboard
(in particular, the Control key to the left of A on Unix-style
keyboards).  So, the motivation is typing efficiency.

For demonstration, I attach a modified version of ximcp/imLcFlt.c which
seems to do the trick.  The code abuses storage for the Thai input
method; this might not be acceptable for production code, but avoids
changing data structure sizes, making the experiment simpler for me.

Regards,

Andreas
