@Geraldo: When seeing your comment #175, I can't help thinking of bug #1573755. It's a subtle issue, and to check if that is what you have, you can either enter a guest session or create a new test user. Otherwise, one observation I have made is that Wayland (enabled by default in Ubuntu 17.10, but won't be in Ubuntu 18.04) makes this more difficult. So logging in to Xorg sessions is safer so far in this respect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to a duplicate bug report (46226). 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/xkeyboard-config/+bug/518056/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Hello Everyone. I've been following this thread and tried every fix here to no avail. I live in Canada and I want to keep my Ubuntu in English, with Canadian Locale because most of the time I'll be writing in english and working regularly with Canadian (very similar to us) locale, I guess... but when I'm relaxing Talking to family or friends in Brasil, I'll need accents like áéíúú and the f'ing ç. Right now the closest I've come was having 2 "entry methods" that I switch back and forth. 1) English (Canada) for when I'm writing in english and 2) English (US, International with DeadKeys) for when I want to write Portuguese-BR.

[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Hi Felipe, Thanks for the feedback. This issue has been kind of solved by Gunnar for ubuntu, for given selections of locales (comment #115). The issue is that now I installed Mint, and realized that the fixes are not spread to other ubuntu based distributions. I still do not understand how can we have hundreds of different keyboard layouts to choose from, at the same time being impossible to create a new one with this choice. The specific issue of the 'c=ç is probably less popular now because most computers sold in Brazil have now the brazilian keyboard layout, and that is fine. As a programmer, I suffer with the fact that "/" and "?" are Alt-Gr dead keys in this layout, and I keep using the US one, but for most people the fact that these keys are in such inconvenient positions probably doesn't matter.

I have prepared for supporting pt_PT in the same manner as pt_BR, and when doing so I learned some new stuff. The default input method framework in Ubuntu is IBus, and as long as IBus is enabled, it's actually IBus which turns '+c to ç when LC_CTYPE is pt_BR.UTF-8. Only when IBus is disabled, the libx11 package makes a difference. Consequently, to properly support pt_PT, both the ibus and the libx11 packages need to be changed. (A minor adjustment to language- selector will also be needed.)

Concerning the pt_PT: Although we do not have manifestations from Portuguese people, we can be quite certain (as we know the Portuguese language :-) ) that the fix will be useful for them as well. Concerning other latin languages: Spanish, French, Italian, none of them have the acute-c character, so probably few people will notice the change. On the contrary, French has the cedilla character. They do not complain about that because their keyboard is totally different (including letters interchanged) so are always out of their confort zone when typing in any qwerty keyboard anyway. Of course, there will be some people trying to type, for instance, Serbian, with some keyboard, and they will need the accute-c letter. However, as mentioned in some comment above, they will also need many other letters that are not easy to type in the US keyboard anyway, so preserving the accute-c for the Portuguese people will affect very, very few people, and only in a very unusual way. -- 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/xkeyboard-config/+bug/518056/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Dear Gunnar, I think the LC_TYPE approach will solve much of the complains, because I think most people installing Ubuntu will be physically located in Brazil and will naturally choose the location as Brazil. If in that case the cedilla will be typed as we expect it, that will be fine. At the same time, when that does not happen, the fix will remain pretty complicated to explain, and forcing someone to change the time-zone or the display language (I understand those are the options) can be frustrating. For example, for Brazilians living somewhere else this might be strange.

If in that case the cedilla will be typed as we expect it, that will be fine. With the latest change to language-selector, that's how it will work in 15.04. At the same time, when that does not happen, the fix will remain pretty complicated to explain, and forcing someone to change the time-zone or the display language (I understand those are the options) can be frustrating. The time-zone part is a misconception. The time zone location is only relevant in the installer. The installer does not have a separate window for setting Regional Formats, i.e. things like date/time and number formats, currency symbol etc. Instead it 'guesses' the regional formats based on the selected time zone location. So if you select a Brazilian time zone location in the installer, you'll end up with an installation where the regional formats are Brazilian Portuguese. If you don't, and if you don't either select Brazilian Portuguese as the language, there is no reason to change to another time zone afterwards. Instead you can open the Language Support GUI, install Portuguese, and then change either the language or *the regional formats* (or both) to Brazilian Portuguese. (And as a last resort, if you don't want Brazilian Portuguese as the display language or the regional formats, you can instead generate the pt_BR.UTF-8 locale and edit ~/.profile.) This, in itself, shouldn't be very complicated to explain. After all, it's reasonable that you need to do *something* to get the desired behavior, isn't it? ... when things do not work out as expected, I think people will start looking for solutions and still will find them only in this bug report, as the workaround will be very unatural. Right, personally I think the biggest issue here is how to get the message out. People may end up at this bug report, with quite a few suggested workarounds. There is also Ask Ubuntu. I added an answer to http://askubuntu.com/questions/363115 However, that's just one answer among a bunch of others, basically suggesting the same workarounds as have been mentioned in this report. How are things working in Brazil? Does it exist any local adapted ISO file (e.g. a Brazilian remix)? Is there any local support forum, from where the word could be spread? As regards pt_PT, we could make it work the same way as it does for pt_BR in the beginning of next development cycle. Then a few months will pass before the release of 15.10, and if - contrary to expectation - people don't like it, the change might be reverted before release. -- 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/xkeyboard-config/+bug/518056/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Dear Gunnar, Thank you very much, this is a great progress on this issue. The brazilian community is very active for Ubuntu and other linux distros, and flavours and forums exist. I will do my best to pass the message, such that this solution becomes heard over the many other workarounds. By the way, I will take the liberty to reproduce here the solution you posted on askubuntu: == SOLUÇÃO/ SOLUTION == Não importa que idioma você tenha instalado no seu sistema, quando estiver usando o teclado US-Internacional (with dead keys), a cedilha será digitada pela combinação '+c seguindo estes passos: 1.

Basta você escolher Português Brasileiro como idioma de interface.

Instead you can just open Language Support and select Brazilian Portuguese as the display language.

Re: [Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Gunnar, My guess here is based on history but maybe I am wrong The reason we Brazilians use the US international keyboard so much is because in the '70s and '80s we didn't have a national industry to cope with our internal demands for products related to computers. Almost every single computer we had was imported (leggaly or illegally) from USA or it was a clone made by our industry based on an US computer model. Portugal may have had a similar issue (I am especulating here) because they were also under a dictatorship for some time, but in their case if a similar situation occurred than they would probably had access to some design made in Europe instead of something from US. Again, I am especulating... It is just a theory but Leandro pointed out that he made a brief research about this issue being relevant to Portuguese people and he found some links to substantiate the claim that Portugueses would be benefited from this fix.

As long as we consider setting LC_CTYPE, in any of the ways mentioned in comment #96, a fix, it should be noted that '+c results in ç irrespective of which keyboard layout you use. In other words, the changed behavior is not conditioned by the use of an English US international keyboard layout, as Raphael suggested in comment #98. I assume that this was considered a reasonable behavior for Brazilian users, considering which physical keyboards are typically used in Brazil. We could propose a change to the libx11 package which adds a /usr/share/X11/locale/pt_PT.UTF-8/Compose file. But before proposing such a change I would like to ask if it would make as much sense for users living in Portugal as the corresponding Brazilian file makes for users living in Brazil. * Do users who live in Portugal use an English US international keyboard layout as often as Brazilian users do, or do they typically use some Portuguese keyboard layout? * Since the behavior may make typing certain other European languages more difficult, is that drawback possibly of greater importance for users living in Portugal (Europe)?

Re: [Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
One more thing... In the glory days of DR-DOS/MS-DOS, if I am not mistaken, there was no keyboard setup specially made for Brazil regarding US International keyboard. It was a setup for Latin languages, I.e., every country that has a latin language was affected (French, portuguese, Italian...) Regards Calvo On Fri, Apr 3, 2015, 09:39 Raphael Calvo raphael.ca...@gmail.com wrote: Gunnar, My guess here is based on history but maybe I am wrong The reason we Brazilians use the US international keyboard so much is because in the '70s and '80s we didn't have a national industry to cope with our internal demands for products related to computers. Almost every single computer we had was imported (leggaly or illegally) from USA or it was a clone made by our industry based on an US computer model. Portugal may have had a similar issue (I am especulating here) because they were also under a dictatorship for some time, but in their case if a similar situation occurred than they would probably had access to some design made in Europe instead of something from US. Again, I am especulating... It is just a theory but Leandro pointed out that he made a brief research about this issue being relevant to Portuguese people and he found some links to substantiate the claim that Portugueses would be benefited from this fix.

[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Concerning the pt_PT: The portuguese from Portugal, although it has its differences relative to brazilian portuguese, has the same accents and it also requires the cedilla the same way, so I suspected that they had the same problem. I checked, then, the existence of the same tipe of claim in forums from Portugal, using Google (https://www.google.pt/?gws_rd=ssl#q=cedilha+ubuntutbs=ctr:countryPTcr=countryPT). Indeed, we can find exactly the same problem for them. Although, as Portugal has 5% the population of Brazil, the number of posts is much smaller. Therefore, I think that the fix for this problem should be applied to pt_PT too. And, if there is any other variation of portuguese (I am not sure if there is one for Angola, Moçambique, etc.), they all sould be fixed.

[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Uhm... I am not sure if that actually works as it should. First, I tried to apply the pt_BR.UTF-8 locale (using export LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF8) but the language pack was not installed, therefore the workaround would only work after installing the language pack, probably that will create the same kind of confusion that the workarounds create now. Anyway, I installed it, and then I could export the LC_CTYPE. I launched a session of gedit and within that gedit session the ç appeared correctly. However, at the same terminal from where I launched gedit the cedilla continued to appear as an accented c, and the same for new terminals launched from that terminal. That is, changing the LC_CTYPE environment variable did not work system-wide. At the same time, although there could a combination of Language/Region/Keyboard that provided the correct behaviour, I am not sure if forcing a specific language for the interface is a reasonable solution to that problem.

Otherwise the locale can be generated either by installing the Brazilian Portuguese language via Language Support or by running this command: sudo locale-gen pt_BR.UTF-8 Anyway, I installed it, and then I could export the LC_CTYPE. I launched a session of gedit and within that gedit session the ç appeared correctly. However, at the same terminal from where I launched gedit the cedilla continued to appear as an accented c, and the same for new terminals launched from that terminal. That is, changing the LC_CTYPE environment variable did not work system-wide. Let me guess: You exported LC_CTYPE in a terminal window and then launched gedit from there. That doesn't work for me either. One way to test it properly is to edit your ~/.profile file by adding this line: export LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 and then log out and log in again. For me it works in the terminal, in gedit, in LibreOffice, and in HTML forms in Firefox. At the same time, although there could a combination of Language/Region/Keyboard that provided the correct behaviour, I am not sure if forcing a specific language for the interface is a reasonable solution to that problem. But we wouldn't force the display language. The LC_CTYPE environment variable would get its value automatically through either of these options: * Set Brazilian Portuguese as the display language, OR * Set Brazilian Portuguese as the regional formats. Both those are controlled via the Language Support GUI, so the user wouldn't need to open a terminal window to fix it. In addition to that, if you don't want to have Brazilian Portuguese as the display language or the regional formats setting, you can export LC_CTYPE manually in ~/.profile as shown above. And, again, if the user sets a Brazil location for time zone when installing, the regional formats will be Brazilian Portuguese automatically. Please note that these things work differently today compared to how it worked when you filed this bug report five years ago. ;) -- 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/xkeyboard-config/+bug/518056/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Glad to hear that you appreciate it, Leandro. I'd like to clarify the nature of the change. Basically I 'stole' the dead key, which in the English (US, international with dead keys) layout is used for typing á, é, ć, etc., and converted it to a dead key for typing ȩ, ç, etc. The key is marked with a red frame in the attached graphical layout. As a consequence, typing e.g. á and é is made more difficult. It can be done with AltGr+a respective AltGr+e, but there is no longer a dead key for typing á or é. So I'd like to ask: Is this the best way to fix 'the cedilla issue'?

@Gunnar It seems to me that since there is an workaround (uim + some local hack) a lot of people who could help speed this up will not. But as long as IBus is used by a lot of distros (default in Ubuntu and Fedora, according to Wikipedia), the issue remains. Could you, please, point me what kind of research should be done?

Hi Gunnar, thank you for your support. I did know about the altgr+c option. However, it is unacceptable for touch-typists. Also, not every keyboard has the altgr key and, anyway, the 'c combination is the standard combination for brazilian typists, so it would be very nice to have an additional layout with that option.

[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Considering that some users prefer ć while others prefer ç, a reasonable solution to this bug (as already mentioned) may be to add another keyboard layout. Hence I added a xkeyboard-config task. OTOH, it looks to me that there are a few layouts already available, which permits you to type the ç character in various ways. For instance, with the English (US, international with dead keys) layout, AltGr+comma gives you ç, and AltGr+Shift+comma gives you Ç. Furthermore, if you run this command: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true yet a few other layouts will be available in Text Entry. So, even if there are quite a few comments in this bug report already, have those of you, who need to type the ç character often, explored the alternatives which are already there? ** Also affects: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist ** Changed in: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- 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

Gunnar Hjalmarsson. Well, you can let two layouts.

[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Hi guys! I'm Croatian and I've used '+c to produce letter ć, used in Croatian. It's used also in Bosnian and Serbian. Serbs also have that letter when they are using Latin letters. Although we do have Croatian and Serb keyboard layouts, for programming I prefer to use US international keyboard with dead keys. Leandro, this is not true: If someone in Serbia or Poland use the US keyboard layout, which they may use, they certainly have to do a lot adaptations to be able to write in their languages. Probably if they use that keyboard is for programming only. I've been using international keyboard in previous versions of Ubuntu just fine, without any adaptations. Also, that was convenient when I wrote in French and Croatian, since I didn't have to switch keyboards. The new arrangement doesn't make logical sense since: a) it would make more sense to have [AltGr ,]+c to produce ç, since the cedille is below letter, not above b) there are two ways to get ç (1: AltGr + , 2: ´ + c), while, as far as I can see, there is no way to get ć. Be aware that ć is different from ċ and ƈ, both of which can be obtained. I know that there's also letter with similar accent is Polish, over letter s (ś), and that is also impossible to get now with the new layout, as far as I see. -- 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

How do you used to write Nataša, for example, with the US-keyboard that types the accented-c key? Or the Đ letter? Not that this discussion is of any relevance anymore, since all kinds of suggestions don't seem to reach anyone, but what I suggested at first was to have a keyboard layout in which 'c = ç, as is useful for about 300 million people in the world (Portuguese+French). If that is the default or the default is the accented c, which is used as a partial incomplete layout by a much smaller fraction of the world's population, is a secondary problem. But I insist we, brazilians, should have the choice of typing 'c for ç, as that is the good choice for touch typists (Alg-Gr combinations are a horrible options, and Mac keyboards don't even have that Alg-Gr key). Anyway, it is pretty impressive how the suggestion of having an additional keyboard layout that fulfills the needs of so many people (just check on google how many people have posted this problem) can result in so enormous negative feedback.

[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
I'm sorry, but what are we talking about? that multi_key apostrophe c used to produce the character ć (c with acute)? to my understanding, this is how it should be, and if you need ç, you follow multi_key comma c, as correctly remarked in comment:1 (not so sure why it was ignored). somehow the solution to the here reported bug seems to be the current situation, as multi_key apostrophe c appears associated with ç (c with cedilla), while ç can still also be produced with multi_key comma c. bug #919899 describes the current problem, that is, we can't easily produce c with acute in any GTK program now. currently there seems to be no other way to type ć than Ctrl-Shift-u 1 0 7 space. -- 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
[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
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. -- 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

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.

[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Hello Mario, Serbian, for instance, has also the č, ć, ž, đ, š characters. None of them can be typed in a US keyboard. That is because Serbians have their own keyboard layout (and that is available within the options when one installs a linux distribution). It makes no sense to keep the accented c letter if its only use will be typing the names of someone in a language that may have many other characters, so that you would be able to type only a part of the name correctly :-). This is the same for every other language in Europe having the accented c letter in its alfabet. If someone in Serbia or Poland use the US keyboard layout, which they may use, they certainly have to do a lot adaptations to be able to write in their languages. Probably if they use that keyboard is for programming only. The situation is different for Portuguese, in which the ONLY adaptation required is the 'c = ç, and the keyboard can be used (and IS used) like that. There is a Brazilian Portuguese layout, and the corresponding physical keyboard, and those work just fine. The issue is that in Brazil, at least, many, many people buy they computers abroad or imported ones, which come with the US-layout. The historical and practical adaptation is the 'c=ç, and that is what is used by default for US-keyboards in portuguese in other operating systems. Not having a keyboard layout to chose from in which the 'c corresponds to ç has been a great headache for people trying to use linux and trying to convince other to use it, you may imagine how frustrating is to present someone a alterantive OS in which they can't type a frequently used character the practical and usual way. I have no idea if those bugs are related. I know that in some recent instalations there are signs (signs, because some people still report problems in some applications) that the 'c=ç option is been adopted. I insisted in many blogs and here that the ideal solution is simply to include yet another keyboard layout called US-International with dead-keys (cedilla), but of course what I want is not traduced easily in other people implementing that, and sometimes I have received feedbacks on more technically skilled people saying that any solution to this problems involves complications far beyound my understanding. -- 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

so you are pushing development towards dead_apostrophe + c producing ç. I think it's wrong, inconsistent with the rest, but fine, we agree that we disagree on this. problem is that multi_key apostrophe c now also produces ç and that there is no composition any more giving ć. please note: multi_key is what one would use when one needs the most generic tool. it would be nice if we knew what was changed in order to achieve the current behaviour, because some of us would like to roll it back. -- 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
[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
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
[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
I certainly see the point of having dead_acute + c making a ç, even though it's totally unintuitive, if for some odd reason it should prove impossible to assign dead_grave + c or AltGr-, to it (none of which would interfere with any existing characters). But, as pointed out in #919899, then compose + apostrophe + c really must output a c with an acute accent. The one who wants to type a ç using ComposeKey already has compose + comma + c. (By the way, even though your mileage varies, I find the ComposeKey sequences quite intuitive and easy to remember.) Additionally, if the problem is only with US International, it might be possible to have dead_acute + c creating a ç only on US International, but a c with an acute accent on other (European) layouts. -- 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

[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Ok, I spent quite long to figure out why cedilla was the new acute. Since my keyboard already has a Ç key (which I use very rarely) I'm quite annoyed with the decision of making dead_acute + c become a c with cedilla instead of a c with acute (which doesn't have any other input method that doesn't involve writing Unicode codes). Wouldn't it be possible to use a different combination for ç, such as dead_grave + c (or the already existing AltGr-,)? Or use ~/.XCompose or instead of overriding it with a custom configuration. If none of those seem feasible, maybe giving cacute a different combination, such as dead_grave + c, could do (although in my opinion it makes far more sense that the dead ACUTE key, followed by the C key, prints a C with ACUTE rather than a C with CEDILLA). Among all possible solutions, I think that the best one would be to just make the default input method use X11's Compose, which already solved this problem in a localized way by having a special key composition file for pt_BR locale which maps dead_acute c to ccedilla while keeping other locales with the default cacute setting, in addition to allowing the user to have a custom ~/.XCompose file. -- 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
[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Dear Cousteau, The issue would be easily solved by the introduction of a keyboard layout with the 'c = ç option (which, at this point, seems to be default in some cases). I am far from understanding how are the technical issues behind this. The usability issue is, on the hand, greater than simply an apparent ilogical choice of using 'c as ç instead of the actual accented c. The thing is that Cs with accents are used by a small portion of the worlds population, which use also many other accentuations (as inverted grave ^ accents over some letters) and different alfabets, which require highly specific (and available!) keyboard layouts. On the other side, portuguese writers use rather frequently US-International keyboards, as the ONLY issue with dead keys is that of cedilla, and in portuguese accented Cs do not exist. French writers could also claim the same, but as they use in general a totally different keyboard (azerty), they have their own keyboard layout and are satisfied with its default options. Therefore, this is, indeed, an specific issue affecting only portuguese writers (5% of the worlds population, I guess), and, if the default is changed, I cannot imagine that it will bother anyone, except, maybe, very few people which want to write an accented Cs for some specific reason in some very particular context using a US-International keyboard with dead-keys, and in those cases I think it is not a big deal to search for that character in the special character table. Anyway, I am totally in favor of having more than one keyboard layout option with one and the other options, it is really an important issue for the popularization of Linux in Brazil. I don't know where to put my face whenever I install linux to someone and I cannot make them write a cedilla in an standard, easy and system-wide manner.
