WINCOMPOSE

WinCompose is a compose key for Windows. It allows to easily write special
characters such as é ž à ō û ø ☺ ¤ ∅ « ♯ ⸘ Ⓚ ㊷ ♪ ♬ using short and often very
intuitive key combinations. For instance, ö is obtained using o + “, and ♥ is
obtained using < + 3.

WinCompose also supports Emoji input for 😁 👻 👍 💩 🎁 🌹 🐊.

24 THOUGHTS ON “WINCOMPOSE”

     Un très bon programme.
     Pourriez vous expliquer comment on peut personnaliser la suite de touche
     correspondant à un caractère ?
     Par exemple, pour obtenir le C majuscule cédille, il faut entrer la suite
     C,
     Que dois mettre dans le fichier .XCompose.txt pour obtenir ce caractère
     avec la suite ced ?
     Je pense qu’un exemple simple pourrait décoincer des utilisateurs qui comme
     moi sont très loin d’être des experts.

           Please, delete this comment and its parent one, because the “Less
           than” and “Greater than” symbols are not displayed.

        (notation parce que les signes Inférieur et Supérieur ne sont pas
        affichés dans le commentaire : “(” = signe inférieur, “)” = signe
        supérieur)

     Fantastic program. Makes me wonder why someone hasn’t thought of this
     before.
     I’m an English teacher, and this should come in handy for pronunciation
     symbols.
     Just one wishlist item. It would be great if the symbols for the “ch”
     sound, and the “j” / “dzh” sound,
     as well as the symbols for voiced and unvoiced “th” sounds could be added
     to the IPA symbol list.

        You can ad those symbols yourself in the program and set up suitable
        sequences for them. For example, if you in the row:
        
        ` : “ʒ” U0292 # LATIN SMALL LETTER EZH`
        
        the sequence Compose j h will produce the ʒ symbol.

     Hey! I really enjoy your app. Thanks a lot for it!
     Also, I have an idea: what about adding new category: «Favorites»? With
     that category user can add his favourie sequences in one place without
     searching it everywhere.

     Ouais ouais ouais, on est bien là.
     Juste pour dire: Super outils, c’est chapeau melon. On aime on aime.
     Ça me permet d’être en qwerty tout en profitant des accents et sans être
     sur mac ou sans les bugs d’une distribution GNU/Linux en carton.
     
     Un gros merci.

     I have installed wincompose 8.2. I have left the compose key as right alt.
     I am running windows 10 64 bit and am using the english international
     keyboard.
     
     I can’t get it to enter a single special character using the sequences in
     the software. For example, according to the GUI, both
     
     right alt / =
     right alt =/
     
     should give me a not equal sign. I get ABSOLUTELY NADA!

        That most likely is because on an english international keyboard there
        is not right Alt, but instead AltGr and that counts as a completely
        separate key. Try to change to either AltGr or another key.

     The last version that works for me (on Windows 10) is 8.2.
     Both 9.0 and 0.9.1beta20190405 just show a prompt window for a split second
     and then nothing.

     Very useful and fun program. What about the sequence for “ɲ” though?

     As a lecturer, I find this a fantastic program to use.
     
     Any chance of making it cross-platform e.g. MacOS and Linux?

     I use Windows to play some games that I haven’t been able to reliably on
     Linux. Sometimes in multiplayer games I like to insult my opponents in
     their own language, which I can easily do on Linux as it supports a compose
     key out-of-the-box. Thanks to WinCompose I can now insult a larger audience
     while playing on Windows.

     I miss an explanation of where the various shortcut keys are on the
     keyboard. Not the least the tilted square that all combinations start with.
     What is that key? Also, I have a Danish keyboard so some keys might not be
     accessible. Isn’t it possible to just make your own shortcuts? That would
     be much easier. Thanks for the software anyway :)

        Okay found the options with the compose key (I set it to left alt, don’t
        have a right alt). It doesn’t work though. A simple one like “ff” which
        is “compose key + f + f” just results in a windows system sound. And eg.
        the colon “:” on a Danish keyboard is “shift + .” so not sure if I
        should hold shift when needing that, which I guess will also act as a
        modifier key for the other characters in the sequence and thus screw it
        all up.? I hope my problems are understandable.

     Would be fantastic if WinCompose were to become cross platform, so as to be
     available on MacOS and Linux (e.g. Ubuntu)
     Very much appreciate the program and will definitely be donating to its
     development!
