I don’t think this topic belongs in this category, but I couldn’t find any other category to place it in.
My suggestion is to allow the tilde diacritic (~) to be placed on letters. For example, I’ve noticed that when I use the diacritics (grave `), circumflex ^, and acute ´ before a letter that can have them—such as a, i, e, u, and o in French—they combine when I type the letter and press the spacebar:
^ + a + space = â
This works for other letters as well: â, î, ê, û, ô. It’s great because I don’t need to switch my keyboard layout.
However, this doesn’t happen for Spanish. When I try:
~ + n + space = ~n
(and the same for ~o and ~a in Portuguese)
It just doesn’t combine.
Could you please fix this?
Additionally, it would be great to have support for the cedilla (¸) in French (where it combines as ,c) and the macron (¯) in Latvian for _a and _e.
With these features, the characters would look like this: ñ, õ, ã, ç, ā, ē.
We don’t write out any of the characters that are used in the OS. That is beyond the scope of Most Distro’s. That kind of stuff is generally hard coded into the system. I don’t think this is the right place for this suggestion.
I could be wrong in that as well. I thought the settings in the DEs were just GUI settings for it. Again, I could be wrong, and you are the one who is right.
That’s not why I asked it. You kind of expect Linux to do something very specific out of the box, whilst the two mainstream OSes don’t provide it either.
i used it but didnt worked , so i choosed the caps lock , and it worked , but i didnt had any caps lock . any way so it get autocoposed with like all the other ones ? because i have this problem only with tilde
