Hi,

Some compose key sequences do not give the expected output.

For example, according to several pages[0], the sequence for
ć should be <compose>+'+c

In gtk+ apps, the above sequence leads to: ç

This doesn't happen in QT apps (tested in unetbootin input fields).

As far as I could find, this bug was reported upstream[1] and fixed
a few months ago.
However, the experimental packages still have the issue.

Would you please include the patch mentionned in comment #34 of
the upstream bug report and upload a fixed version to experimental?

Cheers,
Julien

Yes, this is the point of the Cedilla input method, which is the default
for French. Just switch to the default input method if you don’t like
this.

The bug you referenced is unrelated.

Hi Josselin,

Why this default? It seems a bit strange, especially as French keyboards
already have a direct ç key.

Thanks, I hace set GTK_IM_MODULES to xim as an environment variable
(what is the best method to change it on a system wide basis and per
user?)

All my apologies, I really thought it was this issue as the example of
the ç/ć is stated in one of the comments.

Cheers,
Julien

Here is a comment from the Cedilla source.

/* The difference between this and the default input method is the handling
 * of C+acute - this method produces C WITH CEDILLA rather than C WITH ACUTE.
 * For languages that use CCedilla and not acute, this is the preferred mapping,
 * and is particularly important for pt_BR, where the us-intl keyboard is
 * used extensively.

I think the same holds for French people using US keyboards.

Cheers,

You are right, but I guess the large majority of French people use
French keyboards, don't you think?

Input method should also be configurable on a per user basis (maybe in
gnome-keyboard-properties for GNOME), or system wide at least via a
configuration file.

Cheers,
Julien
