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.
