Re: customizing input method

Except that these days, xkb often seems to get in the way in hard to
understand ways.

But this may not be the right newsgroup to discuss those issues.

There are many reasons other than the OP's for wishing to modify input
methods of course, or even creating your own.  If you want to write
mathematics using a wide range of Unicode symbols, that is one such
reason.  So how hard is it, really, to create your own input method?
