The US-International keyboard is used by lots of people in Brazil, and the touch-type friendly, and standard, stroke for obtaining the the common ç letter in Portuguese is the ' + c combination. There is not definitive solution to this problem, which is very annoying for Brazilians, it is easy to see, by googling "cedilla linux", or "cedilla ubuntu", how many people is searching for a definitive solution for this problem. Currently, one can get the ç character with Alt-Gr + <comma>, or <Alt> + <comma>, but these are not adequate solutions, particularly because this is not good for touch typing nor is the standard historic behaviour. I have suggested in many forums, bug trackers, etc, that a new keyboard layout should be available on installation, which should be called, for example, US-International with dead-keys (cedilla) There are already many keyboard layouts available, and having one more solving this problem for all of us brazilians would be great, and the solution appears to be simple, but we could not get this to be implemented as of yet. At this point, there have been linux versions in which the ç was the default result of the combined strokes, but now, in the most recent versions (Ubuntu 13.10, for instance), it is back to the accented c, which makes my upgrades, particularly for my parents and friends, an enormous headache. Please help us so that this simple addition reach to correct people.
