It's still a better system than having one archaic selection thing from 
the past that happens to live on, and then the other one from the IBM 
world.

That just happen to coexist.

With no design behind it whatsoever.

Actually Klipper in KDE saves both :p.

You really just need multiple buffers and they exist but it is just 
random chance that they do currently.

You said I need to use a compose key, I didn't know how but now I do 
after reading tutorials for some 10 minutes.

I didn't know it required that much setup.

It is still no excuse for having this dumb dead keys.

Even if you don't like them, then also don't make them stupider than 
they have to be.


But the ctrl-' thing I proposed is a form of compose key.

I'm not telling you to copy more than 1% of Vim.

But you are falling into the "I don't like to eat oranges, so I will 
also not use the color orange" trap.

I didn't know. Honestly. I have been wanting to find out for a long time 
but I can't spend my entire day googling (and I'm often a bit lazy) (or 
too busy with other stuff, whatever).

You gave me the pointer to look up how to do it.

The energy so to speak.

Yeah I wanted that but I couldn't, but now it doesn't do 3rd level 
combining anymore, don't know why.

But now I can compose diacritics and not be bugged by 'n thank you.

But now my typing in Windows will be different unless I can do it there 
too (I hope).

Thanks.
