I type in both French and Polish and therefore require both the 'ç' and 'ć' characters to be easy to enter. According to compose key documentation I find on the Internet, for example at http://hermit.org/Linux/ComposeKeys.html, ,+c = ç
and '+c = ć
. Yet, composing either of these results in 'ç'.
I have my language set to U.S. English in UTF-8:
$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
$ echo $LANGUAGE
en
The following lines in my /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8
corroborate that my compose key should not be behaving this way:
<dead_cedilla> <c> : "ç" ccedilla # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA
<Multi_key> <comma> <c> : "ç" ccedilla # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA
<Multi_key> <cedilla> <c> : "ç" ccedilla # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA
<dead_acute> <c> : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE
<Multi_key> <acute> <c> : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE
<Multi_key> <apostrophe> <c> : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE
I am running Ubuntu 12.04.
Can anyone reproduce this issue? If so, can anyone offer an explanation and/or a solution? Interestingly, in this post the user is experiencing a similar but opposite issue.
I avoid Gnome, but use many GTK apps. I've used
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
for ages to stop such silliness. If you care to dig around in[/usr/local]/etc/gtk-x.y/gtk.immodules
you may findim-cedilla.so
is to blame. Now if only I could type a "ḉ"... – mr.spuratic – 2013-10-24T16:48:16.2231@mr.spuratic just add
<Multi_key> <comma> <apostrophe> <c> : "ḉ" U1E09 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA AND ACUTE
to your~/.XCompose
file :-) – None – 2013-10-24T17:03:13.013
