Comment 79 for bug 518056

There is a long-standing, but simple, problem we, brazilians, face
when installing any linux box, which is that we need that the
stroke combination:

<dead acute> c

gives the cedilla "ç" letter, for the US-International keyboard layout.

The US-International keyboard is used by lots of people in Brazil,
and the touch-type friendly, and standard, stroke for obtaining the
the common ç letter in Portuguese is the ' + c combination.

There is not definitive solution to this problem, which is very
annoying for Brazilians, it is easy to see, by googling "cedilla linux",
or "cedilla ubuntu", how many people is searching for a definitive
solution for this problem. Currently, one can get the ç character
with Alt-Gr + <comma>, or <Alt> + <comma>, but these are not
adequate solutions, particularly because this is not good for touch
typing nor is the standard historic behaviour.

I have suggested in many forums, bug trackers, etc, that a new
keyboard layout should be available on installation, which should
be called, for example,

US-International with dead-keys (cedilla)

There are already many keyboard layouts available, and having
one more solving this problem for all of us brazilians would be great,
and the solution appears to be simple, but we could not get this
to be implemented as of yet.

At this point, there have been linux versions in which the ç was
the default result of the combined strokes, but now, in the most
recent versions (Ubuntu 13.10, for instance), it is back to the
accented c, which makes my upgrades, particularly for my parents
and friends, an enormous headache.

Please help us so that this simple addition reach to correct people.
