In general, the right alt key is mapped to MultiKey. Comma is this character known as `vírgula' in Portuguese, and `c' is just the letter itself. > Moreover, I'd like to know which languages use ć and ç I've no idea of what other languages use ç or ć. If you care enough about it to do the research and propose the patch to the XFree86 developers, and it is accepted, it will most likely make it shortly thereafter to Mike Harris' RPMS, and eventually to some Red Hat release. > I don't think it would silly to favor ç if more than 80% uses it. ' surely looks more like ´ than ¸ to me, so it is only natural that 'c maps to ć and not ç. The burden of the proof is on you, I'm afraid, and I seriously doubt you'd be able to convince anyone that, just for our convenience, the result of 'c should be something as unexpected as ç. > Please consider basing your choices in facts, this IS why linux is > becoming more and more successful around the world. XFree86 is not a project that bases its decisions on GNU/Linux. It is used in a large number of settings that have nothing to do with Linux, or even GNU, code. > So, in your opinion a quick workaround would be to copy: > /usr/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose > /etc/X11/xkb > From psyche ? Give it a try. If it works, good for you. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. When you put them back together, I hope you submit a patch to XFree86 so that it addresses your concerns. Just in case you forgot, that's what makes free software a community effort. FWIW, I've done this a number of times, even though I'm not particularly interested in the development of XFree86, and I'm not even involved in the development of Red Hat Linux. -- Alexandre Oliva, GCC Team, Red Hat -- Phoebe-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
