> Actually xkb is just the XServer configuration library to handle keyboard devices and not subject to ratpoison. Handling composed characters is subject to Input Methods. But I don't know an implementation that is usefull or widely accepted. Actually input methods are handled differently for the different toolkits, we don't want to use in ratpoison's development. There are special XKB functions that you use to decode a keyboard event. We can probably just rip off the XKB code in emacs or another XKB enabled program. I bet it's all pretty similar. I know there are special programs you can run to do international input methods but I don't know anything about them. It'd be nice to be able to have them work with ratpoison. That may just be a matter of supporting XKB. That'd be nice. -Shawn
