what i want: brazilian portuguese typing but on US keyboard, basically
just like computers in the 90s did it
this laptop has an US layout but i want to be able to type in portuguese too
US-international doesn't cut it
even the ABNT2 layout i just tried does ś and ḿ and ignores '+t, except using a wrong keyboard layout
so like, i don't know what else to do
@squirrel This seems to indicate you CAN make custom keyboard layouts? Maybe? https://askubuntu.com/questions/585600/cant-write-accent-characters-in-ubuntu-14-04
@squirrel Actually I misread that it's just turning on the keyboard layouts. *tableflip*
@InspectorCaracal i just think it's weird how this used to be standard practice in the 90s and now i have to makesomething by hand for it instead of just picking it from a drop down
@InspectorCaracal i tried that and it put punctuation in qwer and everytihng else was random places and i almost couldn't type "keyboard" to open the setting window to fix it
@squirrel wtf what kind of "for US Keyboards" is that.
@InspectorCaracal OH wait when i changed my keyboard type from generic 105-key to IBM thinkpad something or other (not the thinkpad model i have, i know that) it actually mapped to qwerty right but it just
acted as abnt2
@InspectorCaracal (meaning ; is ç and so i'm missing a few punctuation keys and the rest is all jumbled)
@squirrel Man I know what you mean.
using a compose key is extremely irritating for me because i'll never remember to do that because that is not how i've typed for 20 years
