What keyboard layout allows me to type ç?

Solution 1:

Using keyboard layout "USA - intl (AltGr dead keys)", I can get ç or Ç by pressing:

• AltGr + ,: ç
• AltGr + Shift + ,: Ç

Solution 2:

I found this answer on superuser which worked for me on Ubuntu 18:

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:

1. 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"

2. 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'

3. 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.

After doing this you will be able to do ' + c and get a ç/cedilla

Solution 3:

At a glance, these layouts all appear to have keys for typing ç:

$ sgrep -o '%r\n' '"\"" _quote_ "\"" in ("name[Group1]" .. "\n" in outer("{" .. "}" containing "ccedilla"))' /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/??

Solution 4:

Brazil or us_intl, where you can do ' + c if language is set to portuguese (brazil)

Solution 5:

You can change your keyboard to English (US, international with dead keys) as said in this question: Can't write accent characters in Ubuntu 14.04

With this change letters with accents (á, é, ú, ô, ã) will work except ç. You will need to change your system language to Portugue(Brazil) or you won't be able to write ç.
