Add English (US, alt. intl.)
It's because the cedilla module isn't loaded by default when the locale is set to en, so you have to change the configuration files for gtk to add them:
- Edit configuration files:
sudo vim /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache
sudo vim /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules.cache
On both, find the lines starting with "cedilla" "Cedilla" and add :en to the line. Something like this:
"cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk30" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"
- Change the Compose file:
sudo sed -i /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose -e 's/ć/ç/g' -e 's/Ć/Ç/g'
- Instruct the system to load the cedilla module:
Add those lines to /etc/environment:
GTK_IM_MODULE=cedilla
QT_IM_MODULE=cedilla
Reboot and you are done.
Nicely done! Thanks for that. Today I needed this tip that I used to know by heart but I totally forgot about it, and then I found your gist.
This is still relevant for users that need the cedilla working with us-international keyboards as they do behave in other operating systems (e.g. Windows).
THe only thing that was left behind is that you will need to have "gtk2-immodules" and "gtk3-immodules" packages installed.
