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 "--.", 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 : https://dry.sailingissues.com/us-international-keyboard-layout.html https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey Thanks, Mauro
