It seems strange that compose u o → ů is u-with-circle-on-top, but compose U G → Ğ is G-with-u-on-top, since it means it's sometimes modifier-first and sometimes base-first.
(FWIW I use the compose key! Just not those particular characters, my set is incidentally consistent :-))
- bmn__ 7y agoOrder does not matter with compose, that also makes it more user friendly than dead keys. The modifiers' proper names are "ring above" and "breve".
- lvh 7y agoWhoa, thanks! I've used the compose key for a long time (I'm an amateur Polish speaker who also occasionally writes French) and I never realized it was order-insensitive!
- account42 7y agoIt's oder-sensitive under X11 but many of the the default combinations are duplicated with the reverse order.
