Compose key, I do love you exists!

Ok, ok, i am a newbie. I should knew the trick, etc. etc. Blame me if you want, but I am happy now!

Here is the news: there is a list of compose key sequences: http://www.hermit.org/Linux/ComposeKeys.html

And here the way compose key is specified in keyboard layout under gnome/unity.

Basically, I chose ctrl-right key as a composer. Now, for example, I tap ctrl-right, and then insert, system-wide, umlaut characters by typing " and then a (result is ä)

Wow! Easy!
