[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c

[Geraldo Magella]

Hello Everyone. I've been following this thread and tried every fix here to no avail.
I live in Canada and I want to keep my Ubuntu in English, with Canadian Locale because most of the time I'll be writing in english and working regularly with Canadian (very similar to us) locale, I guess... but when I'm relaxing Talking to family or friends in Brasil, I'll need accents like áéíúú and the f'ing ç.

Right now the closest I've come was having 2 "entry methods" that I switch back and forth.
1) English (Canada) for when I'm writing in english and
2) English (US, International with DeadKeys) for when I want to write Portuguese-BR.

Here is what I've done so far

My Ubuntu version to begin with:

geraldo at geraldubuntu:~$ uname -v
#44~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 9 15:37:44 UTC 2017

Language support: English (Canada)
Keyboard input method (None) (had tried with iBus) no difference.
Those two keyboards layout as mentioned.

Two changes in ~/.profile (Comment #115 and other):

geraldo at geraldubuntu:~$ cat ~/.profile | grep export
export LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8
export XCOMPOSEFILE=/usr/share/X11/locale/pt_BR.UTF-8/Compose

Here is how my locale look like, so I know comment #115 is set properly:

geraldo at geraldubuntu:~$ locale
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_CA:en
LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Also tried edditing other files... please note:

geraldo at geraldubuntu:~$ cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache | grep cedilla
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules/im-cedilla.so" 
"cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk30" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en" 
geraldo at geraldubuntu:~$ cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache | grep cedilla
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules/im-cedilla.so" 
"cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk30" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"

And I'm still getting ć.

Any tips for me? This is frustrating :/

Thank you for your time.

  cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c

Bug description:
  
  When typing in a US-international keyboard with dead-keys (or UK-international), 
  typing 'c results in an accented c instead of a cedilla.

  There is a workaround, which is editing the

  /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules

  file and changing the line

  "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
  "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa"

  to

  "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
  "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"

  (add the 'en' at the end).

  However, every time some update on this file is applied, one looses the change,
  and we get back to the accented c. That means having to modify the file again,
  logout and login.

  For me this is no problem. But for my brother, mom, dad, etc, it is always something
  that at least makes me less proud of having convinced them to use Ubuntu, because
  they don't know what to do each time this happens.

  I think we really need a configurable keyboard layout, or at least (and that would
  be very easy), the inclusion of alternate layouts on install that for the dead-key
  options (as US-deadkey and UK-deakey), alternate layouts as US-deadkey-cedilla.

  This change is relevant for at least Portuguese and French.
