 Posted: Tue Sep 07, 2004 4:49 pm Post subject: cedilla in GTK applications |
 |
|
Hello,
Is there a way to configure GTK-apps so that they use cedilla as the default input method?
I need it for the cedilla (ç) key. In gaim I can use it by clicking the right mouse button on a text box and selecting cedilla as the input method.
Thanks for the help,
Marcelo

what is your keyboard layout? abnt2 or us?
if your keyboard is properly configured in X cedilla will work for all apps.
with my us keyboard i can compose a cedilla just typing a dead acute plus c, no matter if tk, gtk, qt or console.

Thanks for your reply,
I'm using an American (us) keyboard. Cedilla works fine in qt-apps, but not in GTK-apps.
This is what I have in my xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl" |
Any ideas?

Vanquirius, my keyboard is a us keyboard too, and my xorg looks exactly like yours, however i have a a entry | Code: | | export LC_ALL="pt_BR" |
in my /etc/profile to convert everything to brazilian portugese, my native language.
my /etc/rc.conf have a entry KEYMAP="br-latin1-us", but i think it's only needed for use cedilla in console.
cedilla works out of box in all my gtk apps like gvim, gaim, abiword, gnumeric, gftp, gnomemeeting, xchat, etc...
stupid question, but did you follow gentoo localization guide?
i hope it can help you. |

The problem is, I don't want to have my system in Portuguese.
I have read the localization guide, but it is not much help for I wanted to do.
I was hoping there was a way to have GTK-apps autoselect the cedilla input method the same way one would configure it to autoselect the japanese input method or cyrillic for example.
Thanks for your attention, though.

Vanquirius, a system in portuguese seem a problem to me, english is the solution 
you can add this to your /etc/profile
| Quote: | | export LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.ISO-8859-1 |
man setlocale will give you a better idea.
annother way is use xmodmap, the unfriendly manpage should help you.
localization is a pain in the arse, i just use portugese because some illiterate people use my box eventually  |

That worked for me too! (I have chosen to leave the encoding unset)
This situation could be an example of the locale man page.
Thanks!  |

This is a definitive cedilla solution for GTK applications using a us keyboard:
1) open /etc/gtk-2.0/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gtk.immodules
2) search for "Cedilla" and add "en" to the corresponding line so as line:
"cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa"
will become to:
"cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:en:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa"
3) This edit will be removed at boot time. So, put the following script in your your /etc/local.d
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
# rewrite gtk.immodules to fix cedilla in gtk apps
sed -i 's/az:ca:co:fr/az:ca:co:en:fr/' /etc/gtk-2.0/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gtk.immodules |
Additional information on locale:
| Code: | mephisto local.d # locale
LANG=pt_BR.utf8
LC_CTYPE="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_TIME="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_PAPER="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_NAME="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="pt_BR.utf8"
LC_ALL= |
xorg configure is as follows:
| Code: | mephisto xorg.conf.d # pwd
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
mephisto xorg.conf.d # more 97-evdev.conf
# Catch-all evdev loader for udev-based systems
# We don't simply match on any device since that also adds accelerometers
# and other devices that we don't really want to use. The list below
# matches everything but joysticks.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "mouse-all"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "AutoServerLayout" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "xkb_layout" "us"
Option "xkb_variant" "intl"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection |
Hope it helps.
Best. |

For whom it may interest,
This is the cedilla configuration for US international keyboards.
I've recently move to systemd and Gnome3.12 so as, additionally to the procedures pointed in my last post above, its also necessary to export GTK_IM_MODULES and QT_IM_MODULES variables into the file /etc/environment as follows:
| Code: | #
# This file is parsed by pam_env module
#ed
# Syntax: simple "KEY=VAL" pairs on separate lines
#
GTK_IM_MODULE=cedilla
QT_IM_MODULES=cedilla |
Best. |

Why not take the least complicated approach?
* Search for a key you never use. Like "Menu" or "Right Windows".
* Look for its Key sym, e.g. use xev
* set that sym to Multi_key using xmodmap
* Compose umlauts/accents as you like by hitting "Multi_key -> [accent] -> key" in a row, not at the same time
(Multi_key AFAIK is called "Compose" key)
e.g.:
Compose ` e -> è
Compose " a -> ä
Compose " i -> ï
Compose o a -> å
Compose , c -> ç (That's what you want.)
You may want to search a "Compose table", I found this, but don't know how complete it is - it's enough for my needs
I set it to "Menu" and my .xmodmap looks like this:
| Code: | $ cat .xmodmap
keysym Menu = Multi_key |
You can also try it by running
| Code: | | xmodmap -e "keysym Menu = Multi_key" |
but a config is more ... persistent |
