A modified version of WinCompose (0.9.6): a compose key for Windows, free and open-source, created by Sam Hocevar with the help of dozens of contributors.
A compose key allows to easily write special characters (such as: É, È, ~ (tilde), ` (backtick)) using short and often very intuitive key combinations.
- The ⎄ Compose key must be kept pressed to initiate a compose sequence (this key defaults to Right Alt);
- Combinations are optimized for the Italian keyboard.
- WinComposeMod_x.x.x_Setup_64_user.msi
- MSI package for user installation;
- Doesn't require administrator privileges;
- Can't inject keyboard events into high level processes, such as cmd.exe run as Administrator;
- Application can be restarted with elevated privileges, necessary to inject keyboard events into other high level processes, such as cmd.exe run as Administrator.
Written in C#, compiles with Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 (free).
