Creating Custom Sequences

Here is an example entry for the sequence ⎄ Compose t f:

<Multi_key> <t> <f>  :  "(ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻"      # Table flip

The <Multi_key> part is a standard name for the compose key. The double quotes " are necessary. The part starting with # is an optional comment and is ignored.

The instructions for now are:

• Open the %USERPROFILE% directory.
• Create a new text file named .XCompose or .XCompose.txt (with the leading dot)
• Edit the file with e.g. notepad and enter rule lines.
• Restarting WinCompose may be necessary

The exact file format that WinCompose aims to support is described in the XOrg manual pages but it’s probably a bit complex. I suggest looking at the sequence files shipped with WinCompose instead, for instance c:\Program Files\WinCompose\res\Xorg.txt.
