This allows local modifications to be made to existing compose +files without including all of the content directly. For example, the +system's iso8859-1 compose file can be included with a line like this: +.RS 4 +.BI "include \*q" __xlocaledir__/iso8859-1/Compose \*q +.RE +.PP +There are two substitutions that can be made in the file name of the +include instruction. +.I %H +expands to the user's home directory (the +.B $HOME +environment variable), and +.I %L +expands to the name of the locale specific Compose file (i.e., +.RI \*q __xlocaledir__/<localename>/Compose \*q). +.PP +For example, you can include in your compose file the default Compose file +by using: +.RS +.B "include \*q%L\*q" +.RE +and then rewrite only the few rules that you need to change. New +compose rules can be added, and previous ones replaced. +.SH FILE FORMAT +.\" Based on grammar description in modules/im/ximcp/imLcPrs.c +Compose files are plain text files, with a separate line for each compose +sequence. Comments begin with \fB#\fP characters. Each compose sequence +specifies one or more events and a resulting input sequence, with an optional +comment at the end of the line: +.RS +\fIEVENT\fP [\fIEVENT\fP...] \fB:\fP \fIRESULT\fP [\fB#\fP \fICOMMENT\fP] +.RE +.PP +Each event consists of a specified input keysym, and optional modifier states: +.RS +[\fIMODIFIER_LIST\fP] \fB<\fP\fIkeysym\fP\fB>\fP +.RE +.PP +Each modifier consists of a specified modifier and a state: +.RS +(\fB!\fP \fIMODIFIER\fP ) | \fBNone\fP +.RE +Modifiers may be preceded by a +.RB \*q "~" \*q +character to indicate that the modifier must not be present. +.PP +The result specifies a string, keysym, or both, that the X client receives +as input when the sequence of events is input: +.RS +\fB\*q\fP\fISTRING\fP\fB\*q\fP | \fIkeysym\fP | \fB\*q\fP\fISTRING\fP\fB\*q\fP \fIkeysym\fP +.RE +.PP +Keysyms are specified without the \fBXK_\fP prefix. +.PP +Strings may be direct text encoded in the locale for which the compose file is +to be used, or an escaped octal or hexadecimal character code. Octal codes +are specified as \fB\*q\\123\*q\fP and hexadecimal codes as +\fB\*q\\0x123a\*q\fP. +It is not necessary to specify in the right part of a rule a locale encoded +string in addition to the keysym name. If the string is omitted, Xlib +figures it out from the keysym according to the current locale. +I.e., if a rule looks like: +.RS +\fB<dead_grave> <A> : \*q\\300\*q Agrave\fP +.RE +the result of the composition is always the letter with the "\\300" +code. But if the rule is: +.RS +\fB<dead_grave> <A> : Agrave\fP +.RE +the result depends on how Agrave is mapped in the current locale. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +.B XCOMPOSEFILE +File to use for compose sequences. +.TP +.B XCOMPOSECACHE +Directory to use for caching compiled compose files. +.SH FILES +.TP +.I $HOME/.Xcompose +User default compose file if XCOMPOSEFILE is not set. +.TP +.I __xlocaledir__/compose.dir +File listing the compose file path to use for each locale. +.TP +.I __xlocaledir__/<localemapping>/Compose +System default compose file for the locale, mapped via compose.dir. +.TP +.I /var/cache/libx11/compose/ +System-wide cache directory for compiled compose files. +.TP +.I $HOME/.compose-cache/ +Per-user cache directory for compiled compose files. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR XLookupString (__libmansuffix__), +.BR XmbLookupString (__libmansuffix__), +.BR XwcLookupString (__libmansuffix__), +.BR Xutf8LookupString (__libmansuffix__), +.BR mkcomposecache (__appmansuffix__), +.BR locale (__miscmansuffix__). +.br +\fI\*(xL\fP |
