* xterm.c (compose_status): New variable. (XTread_socket): Pass it by reference to XLookupString. * xterm.c: Clean up some of the caps lock handling: (x_shift_lock_mask): New variable. (x_find_modifier_mappings): Set it, based on the modifier mappings. (x_convert_modifiers): Use x_shift_lock_mask, instead of assuming that the lock bit always means to shift the character. (XTread_socket): When handling KeyPress events, don't pass an XComposeStatus structure along to XLookupString. When handling MappingNotify events, call XRefreshKeyboardMapping for both MappingModifier and MappingKeyboard events, not just the latter.

;; Commentary:

;; This mode uses the Keywords library header to provide code-finding
;; services by keyword.
;;
;; Things to do:
;;    1. Support multiple keywords per search.  This could be extremely hairy;
;; there doesn't seem to be any way to get completing-read to exit on
;; an EOL with no substring pending, which is what we'd want to end the loop.
;;    2. Search by string in synopsis line?
;;    3. Function to check finder-package-info for unknown keywords.
