This lets me type umlauts (ä, ü, ö), foreign currencies (£, €, ¥,), copyright/trademark (©, ™), and a bunch of other stuff. For example, “ü” is made by typing Compose, u, and ” in sequence. I also added the line
to my ~/.XCompose file so that I can type λ efficiently; this is useful when writing Lisp code.
