Hi Sérgio and André

Thanks for your replies, which both pointed out that the proposal has not died but rather got a new number.

But why was it never implemented? Or does it need to be activated in a particular way? None of the suggested integrations of the Compose key file works out of the box in my KDE setup. I'm not using Ubuntu, but Gentoo Linux … but this should not be a distro specific feature anyway.

Thanks for your further investigation!

PS: When we get the thing fixed finally, I know of at least two other guys which would want to know about that, because they are still working on KDE 4 due to loss of compose keys … maybe there are quite a few people out there waiting for it --- so we might publicly advertise the change after we fixed it. I offer myself as a tester.

Hi

I had to upgrade to KDE 5 recently.  One of the first things I immediately
noticed was that my key composition table was no longer working.  In earlier
versions, I managed to force Qt and GTK to use XIM, which supported my huge
additions to /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.

As a mere KDE user without deeper insight, I first blamed KDE for it, but
was kindly redirected to Qt as the underlying problem. When searching the
net I found some emails from 2013 written by Paeglis Gatis, where I learned
that XIM is deprecated in Qt5 and that support for key composition tables is
planned to be done directly in Qt.

However, it seemed that task https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/48185/ is
abandoned.
Hi,

The change got in: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/51555/
