It's because the cedilla module isn't loaded by default when the locale is set to en, so you have to change the configuration files for gtk to add them:
- Edit configuration files:
sudo vim /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache
sudo vim /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules.cache
On both, find the lines starting with "cedilla" "Cedilla" and add :en to the line. Something like this:
"cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk30" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"
- Change the Compose file:
sudo sed -i /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose -e 's/ć/ç/g' -e 's/Ć/Ç/g'
- Instruct the system to load the cedilla module:
Add those lines to /etc/environment:
GTK_IM_MODULE=cedilla
QT_IM_MODULE=cedilla
Reboot and you are done.
Actually yes, here an example for both the "Console Key" ` and the ' apostrophe key (Credits to Levi H):
keycode 48 = dead_acute quotedbl apostrophe quotedbl apostrophe quotedbl
(' á ")keycode 49 = grave dead_tilde grave notsign brokenbar notsign brokenbar notsign
(` or ~ or ã)Just make a file in ~/.Xmodmap and add those in, if you want to test the changes beforehand just use
xmodmap -e "keycode stuff"
Here is some more info if you want to tweak it yourself/understand what is going on
This was tweaked for my liking, that way i can use "double brackets" for programming without any hassle whilst maintaining the ability to write á é í ó ú when needed
` for games that require Console Access whilst maintaining the ability to use ã ẽ ĩ õ ũ to write words like não
