# COMPOSE BUTTON
The default mobile international layout features a Compose button (*Cmp*)
which, when combined with another key, opens up a layout that offers variants
for that key. This is similar to functionality that other keyboards implemented
using a *long press* (wvkbd has no such notion, holding a key will repeat
it like on a physical keyboard).
For example, press Cmp + a to access variants with diacritics like á,à,â,ä, etc..
Most layouts also feature the following that are less obvious:
- Press Cmp and . to access more punctuation
- Press Cmp and - or , to access 'mathematical' symbols (+,-,=,etc)
- Press Cmp and ' or 0 or 9 to access more brackets and quotes
- Press Cmp and q to access emojis
Last, but not least, pressing Cmp + space or Cmp + ⌨ or Cmp + Abc opens up an
index that allows you to immediately jump to any layout by name, even layouts
not explicitly added to your layers on startup.
