Re: Compose key for Windows
Fuck if I know. This is one of the reasons I prefer the task scheduler . I think the correct way to deal with the start menu would be to put a shortcut to the executable in there and set the working directory in the shortcut properties. If all else fails or you're really don't want shortcuts, you ca...

Re: Compose key for Windows
To make it clear: "the existing programs" refers to other compose key implementations. CKFW is not meant to replace keyboard layouts, which is where AltGr and dead keys belong, it's meant to complement them. I'm still a heavy user of AltGr despite having written this tool, but there's only so much c...

Re: Compose key for Windows
It's more tedious to set up and modify, and I'm not sure it can handle cases more complicated than dead key + key → character. Or can it? Can it do the equivalent of compose + six keys → tens of characters (I actually use this!)?

Re: The Contradictory Feelings Thread
I stopped Emacs closing when I don't want it to. It works, but leaves one frame open, so Emacs is visible on the taskbar, and the code is ugly and uses defadvice.
Stupid GNU morons can't make emacsclient work the same on all systems.

Re: YHXKK VŘḴHẔY (Yaxkik Vřḵaẕī) scratchpad
This doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, sometimes people want their phonology to be very European, but it is often unclear whether someone's conlang is European/Englishy intentionally or because they don't know any other way (hence why some background info is useful for giving feedback). S...

I was afraid that's the case.
So I guess that if I want to fill the gap, I'd have to do e.g. f v θ ð → p b f v, or conditional k g → kʷ gʷ → p b, or find a sensible way to denasalize m, or…
What are some plausible changes that yield p?
