Bug#300160: libx11-data: want additional en_US.UTF-8 Compose combos



Hi Clint,

About 2 years ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS requesting new
Compose combos to be added. "!?" and "?!" for interrobang look ok to me.

But there are also things like:
     <Multi_key> <quotedbl> <y> : "ÿ" ydiaeresis # LATIN SMALL LETTER Y
WITH DIAERESIS
    +<Multi_key> <y> <colon> : "ÿ" ydiaeresis # LATIN SMALL LETTER Y
WITH DIAERESIS
Since there is already a very simple combo available for produce this
character, and since it looks much more explicit than yours, I don't
think adding yours is necessary.

Then, you wanted:
     <Multi_key> <equal> <u> : "ű" U0171 # LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH
DOUBLE ACUTE
    +<Multi_key> <u> <quotedbl> : "ű" U0171 # LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH
DOUBLE ACUTE
The existing combo is not that explicit, but yours does not look good to
me since it would bring confusion between ü and ũ.

So, unless you come with a good reason, I would only consider adding
interrobang combos. You should probably request them upstream at
bugzilla.freedesktop.org.
