This patch reduces the compose sequence size by making use of keysyms a-z.
This is mainly done to improve support for programs with broken XCompose logic
(i.e chrome). A consequence of this is that the user will need to be using
the standard US layout on their display server to make use of unicode support.
Sometimes in Sway, when an application goes from fullscreen to
windowed mode, there is neither a "app_id" or "window_properties"
attribute. Avoid throwing an exception for this case.
A potential race condition exists on systems where keyd-application-mapper
is started before keyd (ideally this shouldn't happen, but exotic
setups exist). To allow initialization order to be reversed, we simply
eliminate the ping check on script initialization.
Removing this is mostly harmless since keyd -e will silently
fail until the daemon is started anyway, and any errors will show up
in the log file.
The stock XCompose file which ships with most distros isn't exhaustive
and uses a number of layout specific keysyms intended to be easy to
memorize (rather than globally accessible). To circumvent this problem
we ship our own set of simplified compose definitions.
If we encounter a utf8 sequence corresponding to a glyph for which a
known XKB compose sequence exists, we replace the glyph with the
corresponding sequence. This allows non-english users to easilly specify
alternate glyphs without having to memorize the appropriate macros.
