I am facing a hard time trying to configure an US Keyboard to fully support accents (Portuguese Brazillian). After extensive search and attempts I still could not fix it. I’d like help to figure out what is wrong in the process.
My system language is English (US).
The embedded keyboard of my notebook is Brazilian Portuguese ABNT. It works fine, with accents, if I select this layout.
But I am trying to use an external apple keyboard (EN US). It also works if I select EN-US, but without any accents. Ie. “~+a” should give me “~a” instead of “ã”.
I found references online that “system-config-keyboard” tool should me allow to configure. But it does not work by default in F31 since apparently it expects python2 and the call script uses ‘python’ (default to 3 in F31). Even after fixing that and installing extra packages, it still does not work
File "/usr/share/system-config-keyboard/keyboard_tui.py", line 32, in <module>
import system_config_keyboard.keyboard as keyboard
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'system_config_keyboard'
Anyone has any idea of how can I use EN-US as system language and US International keyboard, but with accents? (just as it already works if I use a PT-BR keyboard)
Thank you very much

Hi. For the language section, the language and keyboard settings can be applied after installing various libraries, and it seems that you can set the language you want in your KDE.
Other than the KDE Konsole bug, it works great for different configurations and behaviors, and I use it very well.
I set ibus to KDE, and install ghc-language, glibc, and ibus* in the language configuration part, I think that language support part will be used without any problem.
I am currently using Fedora31 Server KDE. Have a nice day!
I am using GNOME 3 and could not do that by default.
After installing gnome-tweaks and enabling “show extended input sources” I was able to fix the issue: when adding a new input source, after selecting the language (English (US)) another menu appears selecting the variant (which I’ve chosen us-intl for my case).
That should be the default behavior, IMHO. We should not need to install extra tools, tweaks, etc… just to select the variant of the keyboard/language.
Alternatively, I also found that using dconf-editor it is possible to directly edit the language/input sources in /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/sources and modify a given entry:
