- _c_o_m_p_o_s_e is a mechanism for inputting accented international
- Latin characters through an international keyboard. A US
- keyboard with ASCII or compose specification can also be
- utilized for the international key input by using _x_m_o_d_m_a_p(1)
- to assign the Right-Alt key or dead-key.
-
- To enter a composed character (consisting of a plain
- character and combining accent character) or a special
- symbol such as "copyright" through a keyboard, the following
- two methods are supported:
-
- <<<<SSSShhhhiiiifffftttt>>>> ++++ <<<<AAAAllllttttGGGGrrrr>>>> <<<<ttttwwwwoooo kkkkeeeeyyyy sssseeeeqqqquuuueeeennnncccceeee>>>>
- For example,
-
- _<<<<_SSSS_hhhh_iiii_ffff_tttt_>>>> _++++ _<<<<_AAAA_llll_tttt_GGGG_rrrr_>>>> _aaaa_::::
-
-
- produces the _a_d_i_a_e_r_e_s_i_s (i.e., Latin small letter "a"
- with diaeresis).
-
- The <Shift> + <AltGr> expression denotes pressing
- either of the <Shift> keys and the <AltGr> key
- simultaneously. This key combination places the
- keyboard into a mode which accepts the next <two key
- sequence> to form a composed character. It is not
- necessary to hold these keys while entering the <two
- key sequence>. Normally, the Right-Alt key is already
- assigned to <AltGr> on an international keyboard. If
- <AltGr> is not available on the keyboard, such as a US
- ASCII keyboard, any of the keys on the keyboard can be
- assigned as <AltGr> by using _x_m_o_d_m_a_p(1).
-
- _xxxx_mmmm_oooo_dddd_mmmm_aaaa_pppp _----_eeee _""""_kkkk_eeee_yyyy_ssss_yyyy_mmmm _AAAA_llll_tttt______RRRR _==== _MMMM_oooo_dddd_eeee______ssss_wwww_iiii_tttt_cccc_hhhh _MMMM_uuuu_llll_tttt_iiii______kkkk_eeee_yyyy_""""
-
- sets the Right-Alt key to be <AltGr>.
-
- See _c_o_m_p_o_s_e_t_a_b_l_e(5) for a detail list of valid <two key
- sequence>.

- Some of the diacritical (accent) keys on the
- international keyboards do not generate a character
- directly but combine with the following key to produce

- an accented character; such non-spacing diacritical
- keys are also called "dead" keys. For keyboards that
- do not contain dead-keys, any of the keys on the
- keyboard can be assigned as a dead-key by using
- _x_m_o_d_m_a_p(1). For example, to assign F1 key to be the
- diaeresis key, enter
-
- _xxxx_mmmm_oooo_dddd_mmmm_aaaa_pppp _----_eeee _""""_kkkk_eeee_yyyy_ssss_yyyy_mmmm _FFFF_1111 _==== _dddd_eeee_aaaa_dddd______dddd_iiii_aaaa_eeee_rrrr_eeee_ssss_iiii_ssss_""""
-
- Once the F1 key has been assign to be the
- dead_diaeresis key, entering the two key sequence
-
- _<<<<_FFFF_1111_>>>> _aaaa
-
- will now produce _a_d_i_a_e_r_e_s_i_s.
-
- In <dead-key sequence>, you must enter a dead-key
- before a plain character key. See _c_o_m_p_o_s_e_t_a_b_l_e(5) for
- a detail list of valid <dead-key sequence>.
-
- Theoretically, any composed character can be created by
- combining a plain character with an accent key. However,
- the new combined character must be a valid character and
- supported by the _f_o_n_t for the _l_o_c_a_l_e. For example, a
- diacritical mark and a dollar sign ($) yields two characters
- (a diaeresis followed by a dollar sign) instead of a dollar
- sign with two dots, which is not a valid character. For an
- example of font dependency, the composed character
- consisting of a Latin letter "a" with a ring above is
- supported in the US English locale using Latin 1 (ANSI) code
- page but not in the Hungarian locale with Latin 2 (Central
- Europe) code page.

- Some pre-composed keys are directly available on many
- international keyboard and do not require _c_o_m_p_o_s_e key input,
- when individual keys are accessible in one of its Normal,
- Shift, AltGr and Shift-AltGr states. For example, a French
- keyboard contains a Latin small letter "e" with acute as
- part of its keyboard layout.
-
- In some keyboard configurations, <AltGr> instead of <Shift>
- + <AltGr> is sufficient for performing the first of the two
- methods.
