: <b>Note:</b> You will require your keyboard layout to have a modifier key active (if at all, usually {{key|RAlt}} a.k.a. {{key|AltGr}}); to achieve this, you may run <code>setxkbmap us intl</code> to switch to the international US layout with dead keys. Also note that a layout change wipes any <code>xmodmap</code>s previously issued, so you will have to rerun the <code>xmodmap</code> command. Feel free to add those two commands (in the right order!) to your <code>.xprofile</code>, or whatever other file your system picks up when starting up X11. Contact [[user:uakci|uakci]] if you run into issues.

<b>To use:</b> hold {{key|RAlt}} and then press a digit, {{key|2}} thru {{key|7}}. After releasing, press the key for your favourite vowel. This should produce a vowel with the desired '''precomposed''' tone diacritic (this is a big deal to some people). For dotless {{t|ı}}, use {{key|RAlt}}{{key|I}}.

Make dotless {{t|ı}} the default when pressing {{key|I}}, requiring {{key|RAlt}}{{key|I}} to obtain regular dotted i (and also when composing diacritics with the mechanism described above):
