In my video, I typed a dead `~` and Tab and then selected `≳` from the candidate list shown. The candidate list shows in the first column what one could...

While an unfinished compose sequence is typed, ibus-typing-booster basically stops everything else it doing and waits until the compose sequence is finished and then continues with predictions. While the compose...

Even **if** I could get the `~` from the unfinished compose sequence, it would not be useful to complete anything. Because neither in the dictionaries nor in the database are...

That's why I asked how you type an `ã` because there are so many ways. In case of using something like `t-latn-post` or `t-latn-pre`, the `~` would actually be part...

So while a simple `~` might match something if the user uses `t-latn-pre` and often types `est~ao` using `t-latn-pre`, this does match a previously typed `estão`. Because it is remembered...

See how `est~` shows `estão` among the candidates here: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2330175/130499129-dd1f8a1b-1ea0-4ab4-8d0e-ed2814bde7d1.mp4 This works only because I use `t-latn-pre` in this example and not a dead `~`, that makes a big difference....

On your Portuguese keyboard layout, using `t-latn-pre` would be very inconvenient though. Because you don’t have a normal `~`, only a dead `~`. To get a normal `~` you would...

So I think matching something forward when only some accent has been typed like matching `estão` when only `est~` has been typed doesn’t seem reasonably possible (except for special circumstances...
