I'm using MSKLC to make a custom keyboard for an internal purpose. what i was missing is when pressing certain key two times consecutively without space get a new unicode character. in the context we use it is harmless to have specific string (lets say 2 characters) of characters converted another single unicode character.

here i don't want to use modifier keys such as Caps, Shift, Alt or Ctrl. the whole point of asking this question is the same.

so far i tried with dead key mapping. ex: assigned to VK_A

main < key > = a in dead section of the same i assigned

< base > = a

< composite > = ã // U+00E3

so the problem now is while im getting ã if i do key stroke of VK_A two times. but i cannot get the standard 'a' from VK_A.

how to keep the main key while having a dead key also ?

or how to make compose keys ?
