The us_intl keyboard layout is shown in [1]. Your problem related to the red 
(i.e. dead) keys to the left of Enter, right? I have changed to that layout 
now (with no KDE override) and it seems to work the way it should here now. 
I'm not sure it did before I changed the contents of /etc/conf.d/keymaps. 
What does this show?

# grep -vr '^#\|^$' /etc/conf.d/keymaps

Since the keys are dead you do have to press them twice in order to just get a 
single or double quote. If followed by a letter are able to produce accents 
(ó) or umlauts (ö) instead. And just for the record. I can produce a ç now. I 
don't seem to have any issues. But still a haven't tested with a broad range 
of programs. ;)

You are not.

Sure.

But I don't really think this is the problem.
