Adding the option to make Shift + Escape as Compose key.

Jun Aruga requested to merge junaruga/xkeyboard-config:wip/compose-shifted_escape into master

Hello. This pull-request is to add the option to make Shift + Escape as Compose key. Because this setting is useful in the case of a minimal keys keyboard layout. In my case, I am using Moonlander which offers firmware-level key mapping. And I don't use the CapsLock key on the keyboard layout, and use Shift + Esc as Compose key.

I tested the setting by modifying the files below on the Sway window manager on Fedora 36.

  • /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev
  • /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml
  • /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/compose

What do you think?

Adding the option to make Escape act as Escape key, and Shift + Escape act as Compose key.
