My problem is: while using the US layout, the behavior is the same on Windows. To me, ok, but when, as you guys, I put other non-tech people using Ubuntu, it's a problem.
On Windows, when I use US international, and I type '+c, I get ç. When I type '+I, I get "I'". So, I can type portuguese and US stuff (for programming) with no problem. But, as we're discussing here, the behavior is different on Ubuntu. Not sure if it's a bug, appears to be the Ubuntu way. Anyway, I changed this (I'm using 12.04 LTS). I did a bunch of stuff, not sure if all this is really required. Please, correct me I'm wrong or doing unnecessary steps. I used this .XCompose file in my home folder: http://www.raelcunha.com/.XCompose Then I included in my .bash_profile and .profile: export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim export QT_IM_MODULE=xim Then I asked to Ubuntu use xim: im-switch -s default-xim Then I installed ibus-table-compose: sudo apt-get install ibus-table-compose Then logout and login. Can someone from Ubuntu team tell me if all this is required? -- 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.
