Input Method and Portuguese accentuated characters
Since i have installed SJDS2 i have some problems typing Portuguese accentuated characters.
Opening a terminal, if i type accentuated characters only the corresponding character without the accent is typed. If I right click in terminal, and set the input type to "Default" or "Unicode Character Map" than I can type accentuated characters.
How can I set the default input type to "Default" or "Unicode Character Map"?

As anyone any info about this. this is very important. Am I the only one having this problem?
I tried to find something with this in the gnome site, but found nothing.
What I wanted
* Making the Input Method by default set to "Default" or "Unicode Character Map" in my system
* Disable completely the Input Method and expecting to have my system work correctly by default.
* Deactivate the Gnome Input Method switcher (and expecting that with this off I can type accentuated characters)
thanks,

Hello there:
Add a Portuguese keyboard layout:
Launch/preferences/keyboard/layout
Add/Portuguese and choose between Brazil or Portugal./Add/close
To switch between them add an "Utility" in your panel.
Right button in panel/Add to panel/Utility/Keyboard Layout Switcher
I hope that helps.
Regards.

Hi,
Ok, my problem is not a keyboard layout....doing what you said I can change my keyboard from US-layout to Brazilian-layout ( ABNT or ABNT2 ) but still have not characters like:
I only can have some portuguese character when I define US-layout keyboard ( + english language ) and type "" + " e " for example...when I repeat with " c " its result in " c " or something like that and not " " as I hope to see....
one question: how to install a en_US.ISO8859-1 locale?!
( to appear at /usr/lib/locale )
thanks

Good Evening
I executed the command gnome-keyborad-layout
to change my keyborad layout of the Gnome Keyboard Default to some keyboard available in Portuguese because I live in Brazil. I changed to Gnome Keyboard Default for Brazil Portuguese Sun USB Keymap and my keyboard was very stranger so I back to Gnome Keyboard Default. My keyboard type is Sun TYPE 6 USB. I would be glad if you could help me with this case
