Hello all.
Please forgive me if my very first post is not all that great looking; I am still kind of a newbie...
Judging from the hundreds (if not thousands) of posts in various Forums for various Linux distributions, c cedilla is needed by a lot of multilingual people using a standard US keyboard.
There are well documented solutions that work in Fedora 8 and 9.
In Fedora 10 however, input method has changed and these solutions no longer work.
After a lot searching, I finally found a simple solution for Fedora 10.
The solution presented here works as long as you do not enable scim or xim.
Step 1 - change default input method to cedilla
change linesudo cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none.conf /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none.conf-backup
sudo open gedit /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none.conf
toGTK_IM_MODULE=gtk-im-context-simple
Step 2 - add your keyboard to input method cedillaGTK_IM_MODULE=gtk-im-cedilla
change linesudo open gedit /etc/gtk-2.0/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/gtk.immodules
sudo open gedit /etc/gtk-2.0/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/gtk.immodules
to"cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oct:sq:tr:wa"
Step 3 - Logout + Login"cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oct:sq:tr:wa:en_US"
Step 4 - Check that your imput method is really cedilla
cat ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xmlStep 5 - You can now type c cedilla with 'c and 'C (single quote followed by letter c or C)<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="gtk-im-module" mtime="1229379660" type="string">
<stringvalue>gtk-im-cedilla</stringvalue>
</entry>
</gconf>
This seems to be so simple; all the pieces are there already.
Notes:
1-It would be nice that Fedora 11 uses this approach (or something similar) and adds a new keyboard like "US-International (with cedilla)" to installation screen.
2-It would be nice also that this gets incorporated into the the next Live CD as it would certainly help easier adoption of Linux.
