(Get the code!)
version affected: xkeyboard-
A HUGE part of Brazillian users have international keyboards. And to setup these on windows is fairly easy. With xkeyboard-config this is sometimes tricky.
on Windows XP:
1. Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > detail...
2. Click add...
3. Select Portuguese (Brazil) on input Languages
4. Select United States International under Layout
5. You're done!
on xkeyboard-config:
1. Open xkeyboard-config
2. Select tab Layouts
3. Click Add...
4. Select Layout USA
5. Select International (with dead keys)
6. It's the best you can get, but doesn't work as expected.
The main problem is the ccedilla and Ccedilla keys. On windows you get this with ´+c and ´+C, but on linux it must be typed AltGr+c and AltGr+C.
I understand that this behavior is needed so the variant is the most international possible and can output ć and Ć (witch doesn't exist on portuguese).
So I propose the creation of a new br(br-intl) variant that is exactly us(intl) but output ç and Ç as expected by the Brazilian users, and like Windows does. Also it would be more natural to choose the Brazil layout, since this type of keyboard is so common around here.
There's a ubuntu bug on LP about this with some information:
