Re: keymap us(alt-intl) not working as expected.

 

When I Go to Preferences --> Language Support -> Choose English as the
first and only language -> Apply System-Wide and reboot I get: ć

When I change to Portuguese (Brasil) in the first place, and then reboot: ç

So, it's a matter of language, not keyboard layout I guess. I can switch to
US keyboard (my layout) and also use ABNT-2 (pt-br layout). On pt-br
layout, I get the ç as Nio told before...
