I’m trying to write Greek letters on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine but I can’t get it to work.
I set the compose / multi_key to right alt (System settings > keyboard > shortcuts > typing > compose key)
I adjusted /usr/share/X11/locale/$LANG/Compose
so that it holds the Greek alphabet like this:
<Multi_key> <g> <l> : "λ" U03BB # GREEK SMALL LETTER LAMDA
Now when I do ralt, g , l , I get nothing.
When I run xev
and do ralt, g , l , it does find a lambda and xev
returns XFilterEvent returns: False
, anybody an idea how I could fix this?
Thanks,
