Well, if the rules for key combinations are what I tried to insinuate,
Ctrl+c does not mean ”hit Ctrl, then hit + and then hit c”. Ctrl + c
would.
Remember?
Compose o c ⇨ ©
I didn't type Compose oc or Composeoc…

I am not saying that I am absolutely right here, but I think this is a
good syntax: Use a space to separate key pressings, use a ”+” if
several keys must be pressed at the same time (like AltGr+Shift+f or
whatever). I have seen some people using a ”-” instead, which is okay
for me, but I think the ”+” better describes what's going on. Well,
that's my opinion anyway.

Well, enough about this, I guess. Sorry for continuing being off topic… ☺
