hi Leandro, you write > as there are no accented Cs in any language that uses US keyboards... and > I don't think that any other language uses US keyboards with dead keys...
please don't forget that there are quite a few languages around here in Europe, some of them use ć, and when we write to someone from an other country we often want to write their names correctly! :) I am not so sure, but I assume that e.g. Polish or Serbian programmers also use the US keyboard. to most of them, ç is probably of little use while ć is a very common symbol. let me understand why you want to alter the US layout when you need Portuguese? using the Portuguese layout, isn't it an option for you? bug #919899 is about the <compose> key, you are talking about dead keys. Is it possible that some patches aiming at satisfying #518056 broke things for #919899? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, 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 Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When typing in a US-international keyboard with dead-keys (or UK-international), typing 'c results in an accented c instead of a cedilla. There is a workaround, which is editing the /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules file and changing the line "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa" to "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en" (add the 'en' at the end). However, every time some update on this file is applied, one looses the change, and we get back to the accented c. That means having to modify the file again, logout and login. For me this is no problem. But for my brother, mom, dad, etc, it is always something that at least makes me less proud of having convinced them to use Ubuntu, because they don't know what to do each time this happens. I think we really need a configurable keyboard layout, or at least (and that would be very easy), the inclusion of alternate layouts on install that for the dead-key options (as US-deadkey and UK-deakey), alternate layouts as US-deadkey-cedilla. This change is relevant for at least Portuguese and French.
