    Saluton!

    My keyboard is set to US international. I'm having
    difficulties with the letter "ç"¨. I need to press ALT + ,
    to get it. In another distribution I can get it by
    pressing ¨ ' ¨ and then "c". In the Mageia distribution
    I get a "ć" instead of a "ç¨.

    Probably best to open a bug report at https://bugs.mageia.org/
    (Register for a mageia identity first using https://identity.mageia.org/ if you haven't already), so it can be discussed with people more familiar with international character set issues.

    In Libre Office I use the combination c + ' (dead accent)

    But this doesn't work in other programs. For instance in answering your question here it results in: c'

    But: pressing the combination ' + c (in the reverse order) results in
    this: ç

    Voila: çççç

    Haven't tried this in other editors though.

    gucharmap is another command/rpm available, for use with Unicode. gnome-characters is my preference for copying in one or a few odd
    characters at a time.

    Both available as mageia rpms.

    Cheers!

    With Eurokey I can get all the accents of Portuguese and the letters of Esperanto. Some combinations are somewhat complicated but I do not get
    no letters without accentuating.

    no letters without accentuating.

    I searched for Eurokey and found a little app that appears limited to
    setting up a Euro sign key on the keyboard. What is the url for the
    Eurokey you use?

    Separately, there are EurKEY and UltimateKEYS software that are more
    complex packages, but may be more suitable for some. I have tested
    none of these, so use care in selecting your source.

    Cheers!

    EuroKEY Is not a program, is it an option of "System Settings".


    System settings -> input devices -> keyboard
