The manual lists the emoji and name/email compose sequences but never says the system compose table is loaded too, so CapsLock ' E -> é and CapsLock ~ N -> ñ already work on the plain us layout. Users on Spanish, Italian, and other Latin-script languages keep concluding Caps Lock is simply broken (omacom#9560) and go looking for a kb_variant or an XCompose override they don't need. Add an accents table to the hotkeys chapter, link it from the keyboard chapter and the troubleshooting entry, and note there that both Shifts together is where Caps Lock itself lives.

Summary
The hotkeys chapter documents the emoji and name/email sequences behind CapsLock, but nothing in the manual says the system compose table is loaded too. So
CapsLock ' E→ é,CapsLock ` E→ è andCapsLock ~ N→ ñ already work on the plainuslayout, and nobody knows. Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and German users keep concluding Caps Lock is simply broken (#9560, #9392) and go hunting for akb_variant = "intl"or an~/.XComposeoverride they don't need.Change
manual/07-hotkeys.md: new Accents and Special Characters section after Quick Completions with a short table (acute, grave, tilde, diaeresis, circumflex, cedilla, ß, ¿ ¡, €, °). Every row was checked against the compiled table fromxkbcli compile-composeon a stock install.manual/34-keyboard-mouse-trackpad.mdandmanual/45-troubleshooting.md: link the new section from the two places that already explain CapsLock is the compose key.shift:both_capslock_cancel, the default indefault/hypr/input.lua).Docs only, no behavior change.
./test/allon this branch fails the same fivetest/shell.dfiles as a cleanquattrocheckout here (three need anomarchy-pkgscheckout, two are scripts without the executable bit plus a Quickshell geometry rounding check); none touchmanual/.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
