Compose: allow overlapping sequences with xkbcommon

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Gtk-based apps support overlapping Compose sequences, but it seems Qt-based do not, at least when using the IM backed by xkbcommon.

      For instance, in the following Compose file only the sequence #3 is available:

       

      <A> <B> <C>     : "X"  #1
      <A> <B>         : "Y"  #2
      <A> <B> <C> <D> : "Z"  #3
      <A>             : "✨" #4

       

      I am trying to add support for overlapping sequences in xkbcommon. I would appreciate if Qt developers could give an early feedback:

      • Is this feature desirable? I would say yes, to bring feature parity with Gtk.
      • Is this feature possible?
      • Does the implementation in xkbcommon enable this feature in Qt?

      See:

      Disclaimer: I am new to the Qt platform, please be kind and patient.
