One of the mostly annoying thinks about gtk is ‘ç’, especially when you are a Portuguese speaker and use US keyboard + gtk, this is because someone on the past made this choice
at us-intl keyboards, acute+c = ć
I’m not arguing against Polish, Bosnian, Croatian or Serbian, but is a stupid choice when we compare the use of ç in the Latin World (Brazil, France, Spain, Portugal, etc) , even English has some ç.
My way to solve that is simple.
diff gtk.immodules.old /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
14c14
< “cedilla” “Cedilla” “gtk+” “/usr/share/locale”
“az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa”
—
> “cedilla” “Cedilla” “gtk+” “/usr/share/locale” “az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en”
I hope that, some day, someone will fix that or put at the gtk ebuild a flag like us_latin_cedilla
180 millions of Brazilians will love it.

If you can’t find /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules in your system, search for it in the /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ folder. For example, in my system it’s location is /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules .

Comment by Anonymous Coward January 3, 2008 @ 8:25 pmIf you don’t have this file ‘/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules’, you also can create a it and add the lines:
“/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-cedilla.so”
