##### Write Diacritics and Ligatures
In many languages there are ligatures (for example `œ`) and diacritics (for example `ç`).
An easy way to write them is by using the compose button.
Using the compose button these special symbols can be composed from their parts.
The `ç` can be written by chaining compose with `,` and `c`.
The `œ` can be written by chaining compose with `o` and `e`.
There are many other diacritics and ligatures that can be written this way.
To temporarily set up a compose key the following command can be used.
It will set the given key `<compose>` (for example the right control key with `rctrl`) to act as
the compose key when tapped.
`<layout>` specifies the layout of the keymap (for example german with `de`).
If it is omitted the english `en` layout will be set.
```sh
setxkbmap -layout <layout> -option compose:<compose>
