Good tip. I haven't use composite for years, as US-intl with dead keys is
enough for 99.999% of my needs.
Btw, at least on Fedora with Mate, Composite is disabled by default. It has
to be enabled first using the same tool that allows changing the Keyboard
layout[1].
Yet, typing an EN DASH for example, would be "<composite>--.", with is 4
keystrokes instead of just two ('--'). It means twice the effort ;-)
[1] KDE, GNome, Mate, ... have different ways to enable it and to
select what key would be considered <composite>:

Thanks,
Mauro
