Reaching out and some queries

hi, first of all, thanks a lot, really, thanks a lot for providing this. I was tired of using autohotkey script and refering some app to fetch unicodes. But wincompose is sooooo awesome thing. i like it. the keyboard LED functionality is soo helpful too. thanks a lot.

I am using wincompose 0.9.10 on Win 10 20H2

6. Where are all the things shown in "user-defined macros" stored - aint it same as user-defined sequences?

There were 2-3 other issues too i guess, but cant recall those atm. i have opened all these in one issue as many of these are likely one liner (okay, maybe 2-3 liner) answers - and that too, trivial from the devs side. Also, since i am new here, so, dont have much xp with what kind of issues are common or not. If u feel like some issue is big enough for separate attention, then i'll do that after initial discussions.

Thanks.

1. Some characters not shown | Update: Split to #445 it doesnt show all the unicodes. is that so? is it known? if so, is there any discussion mentioning why it's hard to fix or the reason why it's not fixed?
   • ∝ : proportionality sign | wincompose barb arrow not shown a8ONXMuIcU
     
   • ↗ : north east barb arrow sign | wincompose barb arrow not shown FNgPK1Yikv
   • ⤢ : diagonal arrows

5. Update: Resolved at https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose/issues/438#issuecomment-925931556 i tried setting up custom sequence, but it didnt work. it didnt shown anywhere in interface (was expecting in "user-defined macros") and it didnt functioned well either. Following is what i did:

# Hash's custom one *‿*🡭“„”«»
# <Multi_key> <s> <p> <l> <q> : "“„”«»"     # Special Quotes
# <Multi_key> <n> <e> <b> <a> : "🡭"     # Barb Arrow U1F86D
# <Multi_key> <asterisk> <braceright> <asterisk> : "*‿*"     # Emoticon Smile face custom

Update1: I have found the following keys in that macro defining file. But one more question: unicode is defined in the deep sky blue rectangle below, is that just for informational purpose, or does it serve any functional purpose too? I am guessing it to be used in searching - is that the case?

The # before each line in your sequence file comments out the line, so it doesn't get interpreted as a sequence. Try to remove it on each sequence line.

ahww, i saw that # in the sample file, and followed its same pattern.

Update: Yeah, it worked, thanks. Though, the barb arrow <Multi_key> <n> <e> <b> <a> : "🡭" # Barb Arrow U1F86D was still not shown in the user defined macros, i found it only when i searched for it.

ohww, i just observed it today, that single characters are not shown in "user defined macros" - that's verrry odd.

oh i get it, it doesnt show all the unicode characters 😞. it only shows the characters which have some sequence associated with them. am i right??
