I’m using Latest Fedora KDE and as usual a Keyboard with US International layout.
I have found a very annoying bug: usually ’ + c will output your true ç on windows.
On fedora i’m having this issue where it does not, and as a plus seeing unexpected accents on S (like ś) and M (like ḿ).
Tried changing layout but didn’t work as expected, from what i understood Fedora manages this differently so users are suggested to use ALT GR?
Can you please implement a change in which it behaves like Windows and Ubuntu on the matter of typying ? i think this needs to be patched, it’s VERY annoying problem.
ALTGR + , is doing the trick for now but i REALLY dont want it.
I do not really understand what you mean?!? You change from Windows to Linux and you want that Millions of Linux user have to work the same way as YOU are used to work with Windows?
Please reformulate your problem so that we can understand what your exact Issue is. Normally you can reconfigure the behavior of your Keyboard that you can use your KB as you need it, and not force the whole world to change so that you can work as you are used by Windows.
I changed from DE(Switzerland) Keyboard to PT(Brazil). I still can use my ä ö ü. However I had to learn it to use. I also changed from Windows to Linux, and yes things are different, I had to learn and change my behavior … and not expected that the whole Linux Community has to change so that I can work as I was used with Windows!!
Edit:
As seen below there are solutions, however a tweaking is needed because of historic changes made, alias different US-international layouts are available.
If Linux wants to over take Windows and i really hope it does on Desktop environment, i suggest stupid things like displaying correctly what we type on keyboard or getting an easy solution so that works correctly accross every device should be definitely corrected.
Burocrats telling people to adapt to bad things isn’t the solution at all.
This is broken and should be fixed, by pressing 2 keys i should get an ç and that is not happening.
The colleague above pointed the same issue before so that means its still not fixed and should be.
Do we still talk about the same thing? You want on a standard US Keyboard to reach ç while you have to press on C & + key in Windows while on (Fedora) Linux you have to use C & Alt Gr & + instead?
As noted, Linux is not Windows and users cannot expect the desktop to work or appear exactly the same. You should adapt to the differences and make adjustments to configs as necessary.
Microsoft tells users “this is the way it works and this is the hardware you will use” so they are able to ensure everyone sees exactly the same behavior and appearance.
Linux allows users to configure to their hearts content and to use whatever they choose for hardware. Thus it is impossible to provide exactly the same conditions for every user OOTB. Users must adapt.
Bad things in this case appear to be only that the system does not meet your expectations.
If you enable IBus as the virtual keyboard, you will be output “ç” with dead_acute + ‘c’ in pt_BR locales by default. If you run the session in other locales, you need to configure your compose file in $HOME/.XCompose file
You can actually copy the Compose file from /usr/share/X11/locale/pt_BR.UTF-8/Compose to $HOME/.XCompose. All the magic with Dead Keys and Compose Key is defined in the files found in /usr/share/X11/locale/. For example en_US.UTF-8/Compose defines it for the en_US locale and many other locales as well.
Nope that’s nothing to do with the System meeting expectations, i have no problem on using alt GR instead of shift to do things if needed but as i explained the outcome is different than the ideal. ć >>>> shouldn’t be this way.
It’s the case indeed where the zone i live is different from the ““Keyboard locale”” so copying the file or editing the compose really works. Thank you. \o.
i appreciate your efforts dont worry it’s not personal at all
I wish to express gratitude to you and all other colleagues that dedicated time here to help. I Love Fedora and will keep being this way, and the ones that came to talk and check, im grateful.
Noooo i’m not frustrated maybe on keyboard is a bit difficult to express but i just meant the feature isn’t working as it should and that’s all.
Fix to the problem included:
sudo nano ~/.XCompose
include “/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose”
<dead_acute> : “ç” # ’ + c → ç <dead_acute> : “Ç” # ’ + C → Ç
Anyway i wish you all a lovely day and again thank you for your contribution, was never my intention to look blunt or sharp on my answers .
Ok, I also not wanted to send you back to Windows
Just remember that a big crowd here works as voluntarism.
And also to keep the overview of the problem, it not seams to be easy for a person which works quite a time with Linux. Then even KDE and Gnome have the “Edition Status” it should be possible to make this changes on a simple Fedora way. Best in the settings without having to install an additional Program like gnome-tweaks, to make it available.
While gnome-tweaks does have a couple keyboard options it does nothing for the keyboard layouts.
However, for almost everyone on gnome, gnome-tweaks is required if the user wishes to have the minimize and maximize buttons on the toolbar for their windows. Default is only the close button.
I certainly would have answered different
