Exactly, since dead-key+space enters the compose character itself. Hitting ^ does trigger the "buffer read-only" warning though, since the code tries to insert the overlay at that point. > Yes, that makes sense.

Yes, while playing around with the code I implemented that (it still did "swallow" the next keypress though, so it's not really usable), and I wondered if this behaviour could be confusing to some people, since they might expect that the "^" _character_ and not the keypress itself triggers a command? (I usually use the US layout, so I don't have a strong opinion on that anyway :-) ). >>> But does the ^ character still behave properly as a dead-key in normal >>> editing buffers? >> Yes, it does. > > Good.
