Mario, I do agree that ",c" seems pretier to represent ç than 'c. However, ",c" cannot be typed as a two stroke combination in a dead-key combination, obviously because the comma cannot be a dead key.
The only thing I would like to be pushing (I don't think my pushings are having any effect, as this problem persists since I went on into linux for the first time) is to have the OPTION to chose a keyboard layout in which 'c=ç, and what I am indeed argumenting is that for the absolute mayority of people who would bother to use a US keyboard with dead keys, this is the option that is useful. It is very, very, frustating to hear arguments oposing to the fixing of this "bug", because its "fixing" does not require breaking anything else if a new keyboard layout becomes available with this option, within the set of tenths of layouts from which one already can chose when installing a linux box. I don't think, as you, that any other option is "wrong", as I think people should use their computer as they find confortable. In windows (which I do not use) I once could create a new keyboard layout with a very easy to use application, and even distributed it. I needed that to create the adequate behavior for portuguese in a UK keyboard. I think that is the way to go, and not to disminish the needs of other users for, I don't know, ahestetical reasons. This ç problem is not my problem only, type "cedilha no ubuntu", you will find more than 7 thousand posts of people asking how to solve this or giving partial solutions for every new ubuntu version. (cedilha linux gives you almost 20 thousand posts - yes, I think all from Brazil). The problem with multi-keys I am not aware about, and if that is a problem should be reported as a different problem, anyway. And I don't agree that the multi-key solution is optimal, because nobody remembers the combination of strokes of characters that are not used frequently. I'm not against the multikeys, but I think there should be a character table accessible from anywhere in the system from which one could copy and paste any character to any application. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518056 Title: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/518056/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
