Really struggling with keyboard layout in #Linux
Ideally, I´d want to press:
' + o
To get:
ó <=(want this)
But then if I press:
I + ' + m
I get:
Iḿ <=(dont want this!)
Instead of:
I'm
In Windows, the US International Keyboard layout does this. In Linux, I've tried more than a dozen English and Spanish layout and none seem to work this way. Testing layouts is a chore because there can´t be more than 4 layouts active at the same time.
@afreytes weird. When I set my keyboards in Linux (Ubuntu, Mint) it all works OK. Right-Alt + key.
@afreytes as far as I know, you either have to enter ' twice to escape the modifier or use the alt-gr intl keyboard. I have been using the later for awhile and works pretty good
@afreytes I'm using a standard US layout but have Caps Lock mapped as the Compose key. Then every key just does as it says on the label, and it's Compose, ', o or Compose, o, ' for ó.
Pro: language agnostic, you can type ç just as easily.
Con: more keystrokes if you type Spanish a lot.
@afreytes Maybe use another keyboard layout? Like LATAM or Spanish? You can change the layout without changing the physical kb. Of course, this would require you to better touch typing…
AltGr
and Compose
keys, that'll should get you closer'n layouts.
