Like XCompose, but for Windows.

This was a fun experiment, but if you want to use something like this you should probably look at WinCompose.

WCompose

Like XCompose, but for Windows™. Hit Right Alt to start composing!

Install from here. (NB: ʙᴇᴛᴀ βετα ʙᴇᴛᴀ)

Here’s what it looks like in action. The user has pressed ', and WCompose is showing what characters can be pressed next to produce an output (other mappings can be found here):

wcompose's Issues

Consider more standard compose mappings

At the moment you invented your compose keys based on some things you remembered about XCompose.

Perhaps you should:

• use all of a default XCompose
• use digraphs from Vim
• use RFC1345 upon which Vim's digraphs are based

Sometimes things get stuck

Sometimes (perhaps after being unloaded from memory?) things get stuck for a while, and then hitting Alt gets Alt stuck in the "on" position, so hitting buttons does bad things (locking and unlocking the session resets it).

Investigate why and how to fix.
