The hotstrings feature is also present in Linux, where they are known as compose sequences. The default compose sequences can be found in the Compose files under /usr/share/X11/locale and you can also have custom compose sequences in ~/.XCompose. Some of the compose sequences make use of a special Compose key (written <Multi_key> in the rules). You may need to go to the keyboard settings to enable the compose key.

Edit: by the way, these compose sequences also work under Wayland. The only hiccup I found with wayland was that include directives didn't work so I had to put everything in a single file.

- wiml 6y agoI've bound my Caps Lock to Compose, it's really quite handy. I wish there were a Unicode lookup utility app that would display a character's compose sequences if any, but none seem to be under development / accepting feature requests or patches.

When I looked into purchasing a Surface Book (and switching to Windows) some four years ago based purely on its specs, the two critical factors were WSL and WinCompose—without either one of those two, I couldn’t have, wouldn’t have switched. (I also use an AutoHotkey script for a few other things like remapping Win+F to maximise/restore, and disabling the horrifically slow Win+Tab which was too easily triggered by accident.)
