It's Control Center -> Keyboard -> Layouts -> [Options] button
Caps Lock Behaviour:
(*) Caps Lock is disabled
Miscellaneous compatibility options:
[/] Both Shft together enable Caps Lock; one Shift key disables it
Position of Compose Key
[/] Caps Lock
(Only works reliably if disabled above)
My Windows Logo Key:
Go Window Preferences -> Behaviour > Movement Key
(*) Super (or Windows logo)
I've one laptop/PC ever where that doesn't work
(Center and Snap are off on Placement).
Not edited Xmodmap for years.
The .XCompose in home:
It works immediately when first created, but subsequently you need to log out and log in to test changes (ideally in Xed, not KATE or any QT based program in case there is a QT issue).
There is also an option in IBus preferences -> General:
[/] Embed preedit text in application window
This means you can see a mistyped Compose string and Backspace to edit.
IBus preferences -> Input Method
Should be the Keyboard in Hardware > Keyboard
Also IBus must be the option in Look and Feel > Input Method
All distros should have all these settings somewhere.
Avoid Wayland and Gnome 3?
