Another Gnu/Linux user here. I don't care so much for compose key because of having to follow it with a combination. Even two-key combos is enough to slow me down if unaccustomed to them. So I used xmodmap to remap keybindings and use the windows key to do the Esperanto only letters. After a bit of practice it becomes as quick and easy as hitting the shift key.

For mac I made a quick keyboard layout (download HERE) using the ~ key as the 'shift' key (so ~g produces ĝ etc.)

Save it under Library > Keyboard Layouts
and access it under System Preferences > International > Input Menu

(one of these days I'll make a shiny bilingual readme)


attempting to fix...

Hey Marianas, just curious, does the tilde double for accenting the consonants and the 'u'? (I was just thinking that they have different accentation and because I'm assuming you're using the same method as what option+e does during I was wondering how you'd get that to work)

yes, the tilde works the same for ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, and ŭ.

The tilde in this case is not specific to a symbol, but works more like another shift key.

Ah right, I didn't even know that was possible! Bona laboro amiko!

(further edit: I can't download the mac layout, something about needing a pro account)

I use openSUSE Linux 11.1 and a Brazilian ABNT 2 keyboard layout. In my case, inputing Esperanto letters is ridiculously simple: ^+c=ĉ; ^+g=ĝ and so on. Only the ŭ is a little more complicated, since ^+u=û for obvious reasons... To have a ŭ I need to press Alt Gr + | + u. And I didn't need to change any configuration, that's all built-in rideto.gif

Well, a decade later, but this topic was relevant to me recently, since I instaled ubuntu 18.

My solution was quite simple: On a terminal window, just type

setxkbmap -option esperanto:qwerty

, and during this session, AltGr+ [scgjhu] will type [ŝĉĝĵĥŭ].

On windows, I was using the "Tajpi" program, which was quite good, no complains whatsoever.
