	Dead/Compose key maps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Dead key and compose key maps for the integrated console are both implemented through the mapchan command which uses a common configuration file.
		Compose key maps are specified similarly to dead keys.
		As with dead keys, the compose sequences are specified as input mappings and the compose key is specified using the compose keyword.

	KEYMAPS
		Which of the actions bound to a given key is taken when it is pressed depends on what modifiers are in effect at that moment.
		For example, binding the symbol Shift to a key sets the Shift modifier in effect when that key is pressed and cancels the effect of that modifier when the key is released.
		Key number 58 is normally the Caps Lock key, and key number 29 is normally the Control key.

		Compose sequence characters that are not present on the keyboard and cannot be intuitively composed by some key sequence, for example, graphics characters, can be generated by pressing the compose key followed by three digits.
		That is why these keys generate 7, 8, 9, etc. when the Num Lock LED is on, which is the same value that would be produced if Shift were used with these keys.
		When a key is translated into a single byte (no escape sequence) and this bit is set, the corresponding control character will be generated when the Ctrl key is pressed simultaneously.

		The first key is the compose key, which you will specify.
		The second and third keys are the keys which actually generate the result.
		Time is of the essence between pressing the compose key and the first key of the combination.

		That is, press the key itself to enter the character engraved on the bottom left of its keycap and press Shift in combina- tion with the key to enter the character engraved on the top left of the keycap.
		The key defined to perform the group-shift function varies according to keyboard style, as follows: + For VT style keyboards, the group-shift function is assigned to the compose-character key (usually engraved with Compose) on the left side of the main keypad.
		On the alphabetic keys of these keyboards, characters of the native-language alphabet are engraved on the bottom right of the keycaps and characters in the English alphabet are engraved on the top left of the keycaps.

		She can find the keycode for a key by use of showkey(1), while the keymap format is given in keymaps(5) and can also be seen from the output of dumpkeys(1).
		If the input file does contain compose key definitions, then all old defini- tions are removed, and replaced by the specified new entries.
		The default bindings for the function keys are certain escape sequences mostly inspired by the VT100 terminal.

	X windows keyboard notes
		The compose key is similar to dead keys (and easier to use in my opinion) in that it modifies the meaning of subsequent keys.
		Note I highlight the plural keys as this is where the compose key is different.
		The handiest way I've come up with to find the the compose character combination for a particular character is to pass the character as a parameter to this script.

		Press a diacritical key (described under Using the Diacritical Keys later in this appendix), and then the character to be combined with it (valid combinations are shown in Table A-11).
		For example, on keyboards for which tilde (~) is a diacritical mark, you compose the ñ Spanish character by pressing the "~" key and then pressing the "n" key.
		When you press the Compose key, the Compose light turns ON to indicate that you are composing a special character.

		the one in the first column in a key defini- tion line, is taken when the key is pressed or released.
		This is because pressing the key puts Control modifier in effect and the fol- lowing actions are looked up from the fifth column (see the table above).

	Compose Music Tutorial
		While music theory can't help you compose better, it aids the composer to write in a more sophisticated and logical way, helps in planning composition development, helps a composer to write logical progressions, and most importantly, helps the composer to write the composition in an efficient way.
		The key signature will be based on the mood the composer wants his composition to sound like.
		For example, if the composer wanted to write a sad or frightening piece, the time signature would have to be in the minor.

		When the value is 16, the kernel probably knows about four modifier keys, which you can press in different combinations with the key to access all the bound actions.
		Number of function keys supported by kernel This tells the number of action codes that can be used to output strings of characters.
		These action codes are tra- ditionally bound to the various function and editing keys of the keyboard and are defined to send standard escape sequences.

	Sorting It All Out : How can Windows emulate the functionality of the ComposeKey of UNIX?
		In fact, some people press the compose key first, the some sequence of keys, while others press the compose key and the first key of the sequence simultaneously.
		As for whether you can define such a key with the standard Windows APIs, what about this: define you compose key as a dead keys, and use chained dead keys to build compose key sequences as a tree of chained dead keys: e.g.
		compose is a dead key, which gives another dead key if you press 1, and this second dead key gives you ½ if you press 2.

	LOADKEYS
		If the input file does not contain any compose key definitions, the kernel accent table is left unchanged, unless the -c (or --clearcompose) option is given, in which case the kernel accent table is emptied.
		If the input file does contain compose key definitions, then all old definitions are removed, and replaced by the specified new entries.
		If the -m (or --mktable) option is given loadkeys prints to the standard output a file that may be used as /usr/src/linux/drivers/char- /defkeymap.c, specifying the default key bindings for a kernel (and does not modify the current keymap).

	Controlling Keyboard Input Using HP's X Window System
		A common problem reported by people using HP's X Window System is the conflict between the use of the "extend-char" key to access the extended characters of "Roman8" or "Latin1" with HP's keyboards and the use of the "extend-char" key as a Meta key.
		The initial key is a diacritic and the second key is the ASCII character to which the diacritic is to be applied.
		One key should be the ASCII key that corresponds to one of the diacritic symbols and the other key should be the ASCII character to which the diacritic should be applied.

	TCLLIB - Tcl Standard Library: khim
		It works by designating some seldom-used key of the keyboard as a "Compose" key (this key is distinct from any key so labeled, and is often "Pause," "F12" or "L2"), and having the "Compose" key, followed by a two-key sequence, have the effect of inserting some character in a widget.
		In addition, the "Compose" key, when struck twice in succession, brings up a dialog containing a Unicode character map, allowing arbitrary characters to be inserted.
		The user is allowed to reconfigure the key sequences for the "Compose" key, change the choice of key to use for the "Compose" function, and enable/disable the KHIM key bindings entirely.

		The compose sequences can also be changed to whatever is most memorable for you.

		At this point the best way to fix the keys on your machine is to install Debian from version 2 (Hamm) and up, or SuSE, or any later Redhat/Fedora distribution, and I would bet that the issue has been addressed in other recent distributions as well.
		A problem common to all compose schemes is that while some composing systems make more sense than others, none of them make all of the iso_8859_1 characters readily accessible, simply because it is impossible to remember the combinations for all characters.
		Vim uses terminfo, so the keys should be ok if your terminfo is. However, if it is not, you can still get the keys to work in vim.

	ISO-8859-1 compose keystrokes in Linux

		to assign a suitable key (keycode of one of those useless "Windows" keys found with "xev") to the compose character "Multi_key".
		If you have a DEC keyboard with a real "compose" key then you would naturally use that.
