No, the problem is NOT having a keyboard layout for US keyboards in which   
typing   'c  gives ç.

Using multi-key for anything is not an option if you are a touch typist and the 
letter you want
to type appears very frequently in your language.

The multi-key options are irrelevant for this problem.

Of course there should some way to type c with acute, but that option should 
not be 'c for
US keyboards, as there are no accented Cs in any language that uses US 
keyboards. For those
languages, which also have many other different characters, the use of specific 
keyboard
layouts cannot be avoided.

For characters as the 'c with acute', which are so infrequently used in English 
as in Portuguese,
one could have an easily available character table. I don't think that any 
other language uses
US keyboards with dead keys except Portuguese and Spanish. In Spanish there is 
no problem,
because the only non-English character is the ñ, and there is no ambiguity 
there. For Portuguese,
the only non-English character is the ç, for which the good option is the 'c, 
as it is a two-strike
combination.
