Re: Xkb-Extensions and XEmacs

This morning I went to check with my 20.4 and using the
Xkb-extensions. Well, I encountered no problems, dead_tilde etc. work
as expected when enabling "nodeadkeys" in XF86Config.
They idea is that it works WITH deadkeys (or did you mean that). I.e.
typing ~ n should give ñ.
I then remembered that Christian Kirsch had reported some problems,
so I contacted him. His trouble has to do with the default keybinding
of Compose to Shift-AltGR (I use ScrollLock), which he says XEmacs
does not recognize. I will check that this evening.
The Compose key is called "Multi_Key" in X but I guess that is not the
problem (to be more correct: the "Compose" key must generate the
"Multi_key" keysym) . May be it has something to with the fact that it
uses a modifier key.
Jan, for the 21.0 version, is there just the new x-compose.el
necessary ?
Unfortunately not. It is of paramount importance that the combination
of C code and lisp code gets tested (the 21.0 lisp code probably won't
even work on 20.4) as this was exactly the cause of the previous problems.
I have currently no way to get the new beta home, since I
don't have a modem account currently (and no cd-writer either).
Same problem as me... Maybe a public call on some newsgroup is in order.
