Anyone has an idea why for a few weeks, the under on Unstable (set via "setxkbmap -option compose:menu -option compose:rwin -option compose:rctrl -option compose:ralt") suddenly only works if I release it before pressing the first key of the wanted key combo?

If you see e.g. a "a instead of an ä from me, it's because I was used to already press " before I released the Compose Key. Very annoying and happens far too often. 🤬

Hello, new fedinauts, I’m Aral. I live on the Emerald Isle with my partner in crime Laura and our trusty sidekick Oskar the huskamute.

I’m working on building the Small Web¹ as an ethical alternative to the Big Web.

Please feel free to say hi. I don’t bite (unless you’re a proud surveillance capitalist/people farmer or a douchebag billionaire) :)

@Roelant Heya, on my Linux machine I use the Compose Key (which I have mapped to Caps Lock).

So ¹ is Caps Lock + ^ + 1, ² is Caps Lock + ^ + 2, etc.

There’s so much more you can do with the Compose Key. I wrote a bit about it a few years ago at https://ar.al/2018/07/18/typographical-typing-habits-for-linux/
