How to use Cedilha on US Keyboard on ArchLinux

1) Put: English(US, internacional with dead Keys) on your system keyboard layout.

2) Editing the files:

sudo vim /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache
sudo vim /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules.cache

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"

3) replacing "ć" to "ç" and "Ć" to "Ç" on /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

sudo cp /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.bak
sed 's/ć/ç/g' < /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose | sed 's/Ć/Ç/g' > Compose
sudo mv Compose /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

4) add two lines on /etc/environment

GTK_IM_MODULE=cedilla
QT_IM_MODULE=cedilla

5)restart your computer

@nywton Even with FCITX?

@nywton Even with FCITX?

@psygo How could I check which input method framework I'm current using on arch linux? My desktop is i3wm

 ps aux | grep fcitx && ps aux | grep ibus

kyoris    103201  0.0  0.0   6560  2432 pts/0    S+   15:14   0:00 grep --color=auto --exclude-dir=.bzr --exclude-dir=CVS --exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=.hg --exclude-dir=.svn --exclude-dir=.idea --exclude-dir=.tox fcitx
kyoris    103201  0.0  0.0   6560  2432 pts/0    S+   15:14   0:00 grep --color=auto --exclude-dir=.bzr --exclude-dir=CVS --exclude-dir=.git --exclude-dir=.hg --exclude-dir=.svn --exclude-dir=.idea --exclude-dir=.tox ibus

@nywton Typically, I see that FCITX is working by its icon on my top bar icon tray. I'm also using setxkbmap -layout us -variant intl on Arch, but what I get is ć still unfortunately.

Thanks man! 🔥
