Better yet, you can even define your own combo. Here's how I type it with compose + left-arrow twice: $ grep ← .XCompose <Multi_key> <Left> <Left>

Better yet, you can even define your own combo. Here's how I type it with compose + left-arrow twice: $ grep ← .XCompose <Multi_key> <Left> <Left> : "←" (I use double press to distinguish from compose, ←, → which I bound to ↔. If you don't need that, "<Multi_key> <Left>" alone will probably be enough.) You might want to change IM module though, as not all of them work with .XCompose reliably.
