Sorry for the confusion in my recent post. Fedora 34 WS along with Gnome 40 ships with the "Compose Key" disabled. I chose to enable it, following Mr. Miller's advice from a previous post ( related to Gnome 40 Tweaks ) and his suggestion, to set the CAPS-Lock Key as the Compose Key.
have any other use for it.
I have not figured out yet how to use either the CAPS-Lock Key, nor a Compose Key.
Press the compose key, then the other two keys you want to combine. You "é". "<compose> 1 2" -> "½". "<compose> / =" -> "≠", etc.
I write quite a lot in Spanish (using a UK keyboard) so the Compose key is a PITA for accents. I use the ' and ~ as dead keys, which is much faster: áéíóúñ. However I still need the Compose to get ¿ and ¡ so I just have to remember the combo (AltGr+_ for ¿, AltGr+! for ¡).
The downside is that I have to double up the ' (i.e. type ' ') when writing an actual apostrophe, such as in my own surname :-)
