Sorry for being out of the mailing list for a while.

I use the following keyboard layout/input method:
setxkbmap -option compose:rctrl us
I would like to be able to insert composed characters in dmenu.
Some time ago (on 16th of October) Troels Henriksen suggested a patch
that I was trying (lamely, I suppose) to apply to dmenu-4.2.1 (as shipped
by Debian). As result, I can input compose characters, but neither forward
arrow nor End key do not work. My C is too basic to understand what the
patch should do.

So I repeat my original question: can dmenu be made to accept composed
characters?

Sincerely,
s.
