The input method build in to libX11 will, if Multi_key is associated
with any of the physical keys, preempt Emacs; Emacs will only see the
results of the compose sequences.
But that only happens under X.
It would be nice if the same key did the same job on a console.
Simimarly, at the linux kernel console (at least), the Compose key
sequences are all handled by the kernel code; Emacs never sees the
Compose key itself.
I did not know there was a Compose key. Can you email me the documentation?
I hope that the sequences following Compose and Multi_key are the
same, because any difference between them would be a painful added
complexity for the system as a whole. Also, is Compose the same
key as Multi_key?
How can I find the Compose key on my keyboard?
