- [WinCompose] allows to easily write special characters [...] using short and often very intuitive key combinations. [...] WinCompose supports the standard Compose file format. It provides more than 1600 compose rules from the Xorg project and the dotXCompose project. You can add custom rules by creating a file named .XCompose or .XCompose.txt in your %USERPROFILE% directory.

WinCompose (keyboard utility)
WinCompose is an AutoHotKey keyboard utility designed to allow an user to insert exotic characters with minimal effort. Unfortunately, it is not yet natively portable as it saves its 'settings.ini' to the user's '%APPDATA%\WinCompose\' folder, a shortcoming easily solvable with a custom launcher.

Re: WinCompose (keyboard utility)
Hi — WinCompose author here. I was not familiar with portable applications, but I’m willing to do the necessary changes. The next version (probably 0.6.8) will provide a portable version that does not touch %AppData% if not installed.

Re: WinCompose (keyboard utility)
Quick note about the WinCompose license:
http://www.wtfpl.net/about/
It's essentially the Anti-License License. I get that devs don't want to muck about this sort of thing but I've got to point out that there's functionally very little difference between the WTFPL and BSD (or MIT for that matter). I'd generally recommend sticking with BSD to avoid confusion. That said, I think selecting this license is itself sort of a protest against how tedious license stuff can get so maybe it'll take off and won't cause other devs to second guess it's usage.

Re: WinCompose (keyboard utility)
Hehe ... no, I didn't but my point still holds but that actually makes it LESS appealing due to it's obscurity. Still if you're going to start a new license (or in this case anti-license) you've gotta start somewhere.SYSTEM wrote:I don't know if you noticed, but Sam Hocevar is the author of both WinCompose and WTFPL...
I'd love to see a judge reading this out loud in a proper court setting
