Dear Ilya, dear all,
Thanks again for this important remark.
My ~/.XCompose file is then the following:
<i_breve_below> : "i̯"
<u_breve_below> : "u̯"
<i_wtdot_ring_above> : "ı͗"
<I_ring_above> : "I͗"
<c_caron_dot_below> : "č̣"
<C_caron_dot_below> : "Č̣"
<s_macron_below> : "s̱"
<S_macron_below> : "S̱"
<H_macron_below> : "H̱"
<h_circumf_below> : "h̭"
<H_circumf_below> : "H̭"
My /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB is the following:
i_breve_below :100050F5
u_breve_below :100050F6
i_wtdot_ring_above :100050F7
I_ring_above :100050F8
c_caron_dot_below :100050F9
C_caron_dot_below :100050FA
s_macron_below :100050FB
S_macron_below :100050FC
H_macron_below :100050FD
h_circumf_below :100050FE
H_circumf_below :100050FF
and in my keyboard layout I have tried in a first time with:
key <AE01> { [ ampersand, 1,
i_breve_below, U032F ] };
and afterwards i a second time with
key <AE01> { [ ampersand, 1, U100050F5,
U032F ] };
The keyboard is working but the i_breve_below or U100050F5 is not
working (I still have this xev when I type on the ampersand key + the
AltGr modifier:
KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4e00001,
root 0x168, subw 0x0, time 2120434, (-409,14), root:(142,282),
state 0x4090, keycode 10 (keysym 0xb9, onesuperior), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 49
XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 b9) "¹"
XFilterEvent returns: False
I do not see where the problem is now...
It could be helpful if some one has a key.
Thanks again and sorry for bothering you with that.
Best,
Pierre-Luc
