I like using the " ^^ " kaomoji reaction. but since moving to linux from windows i have to press a key 4 times to do it.
I know ^ is supposed to be combined with another character and thats why, but how do i change it so i can just type it like a regular character like on windows?

I have a swedish keyboard layout, the ^ key for me is next to enter.

thanks!

it's due to Linux (X11 at least, I don't know how Wayland manage it) input method that works in a slightly different way than in Windows. ^ is a diacritic, it is normally intended to be associated with another character : ê î ô û
