A cross-platform Compose key for any keyboard layout.
There’s nothing to see yet.
- grab Compose key sequences from XOrg
- extend them with ASCII-only sequences
- (maybe?) make a quick Rust/Tauri UI to browse, filter, and customize these sequences.
The implementation could rely on:
- AHK on Windows (deadkey-chaining is hacky at best on this platform)
~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dicton macOS- XCompose on Linux (no shit, Sherlock?)
… unless we hit the rusty road and come up with our own implementation.
