Description of problem: For reference. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=207906 US-International should allow cedilla when '+c is typed.
What's wrong with AltGr + , and "compose , c"? Am I missing something here?
"c + '" for cedilla is what is mostly used when you don't have a "ç" key in your keyboard. For brazilians, that would be very helpful.
unfortunately the us(intl) variant is just that - international, not specifically geared towards any language afaict. since it already has two ways of typing the cedilla (one with the compose key), I'd rather not have another one added, even if that is more useful for one specific language.
Well, i saw some spanish people complaining too. Anyway, let me more straight forward here: the same keyboard layout in ubuntu (us international) as in fedora do different things. In ubuntu, "'+ c" gives you cedilla. In Windows too! Only fedora does it differently (in a bad way). If the current international with dead keys could be improved to do this, all the better, if not, a us international with cedilla would be very helpful.
do you have a ubuntu machine handy? can you please attach /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us and the output of "xkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY -" here (uncompressed, separate files). Diff doesn't show me any difference from the oneric package I just downloaded and the vanilla xkeyboard-config we ship.

I don't see a difference between the files on F16 and your files, so I have no idea why this could possibly work differently on Ubuntu. One thing I did notice is that the layout from the xkbcomp output is not the US international, but the US alternative international layout. switching my keyboard to us(alt-int) and diffing my xkbcomp output against yours also shows no changes. are these the right files from ubuntu?
Yeap, they're as requested. Do you have access to a eeepc 1201N? Try to install fedora in it with brazilian language and brazilian keyboard and try to set cedilla as being "'+c". If you can't, then try changing the keyboard layout many times. It will soon crash.
Hey! Just changed from Ubuntu, now using Fedora 16. I got this problem too. I think it's a problem because every other OS that uses Portuguese lets you choose keyboard layouts such as Brazilian ABNT2 or US International, which I can say are the most used layouts down here. What I see now is there's no combination for using US International layout with Portuguese as input language as saw in Windows, for example. Ubuntu didn't have this problem also. That combination would permit that [aeiou] + [^~`'"] = [aeiou] with accent and [cC] + ' = çÇ, and any other character (I don't remember now, I can post here later after some testing if you wish) gets letter[^~`'"]. I think this pattern should be applied to Fedora as well, to avoid such unconfortable usage like I'm feeling right now, and maintain consistency for the sake of user experience. I can live with Alt + comma + [cC], demanding some training, because I used acute + [cC] since half 90's. And, yes, I prefer that old way. I'll follow this thread closely. =) Thanks!
You need to use X locale compose for that. eg Run im-chooser and select "X compose table" or im-cedilla (but that only works in gtk apps) and restart your desktop session.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
