compose key

[haaber]

Hello,

for foreign languages (accents, etc) I used to have a compose key
configured. I have no idea how to do this within qubes. Has anyone
had/solven this problem already? Thank you! Bernhard

You just use the normal XFCE tools: Menu -> System Tools -> Keyboard. Then under "Layout" you can pick the compose key.

Hi,

Please remember to reply to the list as well. For me, using Left Win,
this setting sets the compose key for all VMs and dom0. I'm confused
that you're seeing different behavior, and not sure why that would be
the case.

Maybe it doesn't apply to already-running VMs?
I performed a simple test with xmodmap and it didn't affect other VMs.
As each VM uses its own Xorg, I'm unsure about how these systemwide
changes to input devices are supposed to be configured.
