I guess I may have found a workaround. I use Hungarian keyboard layout with hu_HU.UTF-8 locale and I'd like to type the "ć" character with AltGr+9+c (dead_acute+c) (used in Polish and Croatian/Serbian). I have been googling and experimenting quite long to find a workaround with no success. The most interesting point was, that the file that most claimed needs the changes already contains the proper entries:
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose <dead_acute> <C> : "Ć" U0106 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH ACUTE <Multi_key> <acute> <C> : "Ć" U0106 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH ACUTE <Multi_key> <apostrophe> <C> : "Ć" U0106 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH ACUTE <Multi_key> <C> <apostrophe> : "Ć" U0106 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH ACUTE <dead_acute> <c> : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE <Multi_key> <acute> <c> : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE <Multi_key> <apostrophe> <c> : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE <Multi_key> <c> <apostrophe> : "ć" U0107 # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE I tried changing other files as well: - /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-1.inc (I changed the lines combining dead_acute with c to result in "ć" instead of "ç", but it did not help) - adding a ~/.XCompose with the proper entries (but what for, if en_US.UTF-8/Compose already contains the proper entries?) As a last act of desperation, basing on a hint I found at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Accented_Characters I tried adding "GTK_IM_MODULE=xim" to /etc/environment. This finally helped. Then I reverted all my previous changes (left just the one in /etc/environment), and entering "ć" is still possible. However now I see other problems with the input method (Ctrl+F doesn't work in gedit - when the IM_MODULE is not xim it works properly), so I wouldn't like to use this "hack". So my questions are: - Why are the settings in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose not taking any effect with the default input method? (my /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir defines en_US.UTF-8/Compose for hu_HU.UTF-8, so it should take effect) - Why are those settings taking effect in turn when the input method is xim? - What is the default input method (I guess it's not xim), and where are those "Compose" settings that should take effect for it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919899 Title: Compose sequence apostrophe+c produces a cedilla instead of acute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/919899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
