Hey, so I just tested this and you’re right, it doesn’t work as you described.

I suppose I unconsciously found workarounds and just ran with it.

For the examples you mentioned:

I’m is achieved by typing ’ and then space.

ç you can get with AltGr+<

The other two, I have no idea what they are, but I trust your judgment.

I also went around some forums and yeah it appears other people report it doesn’t work as it should. A bummer.

Maybe there already are some custom keyboard layouts out there you can download?

Wow! Thank you for going through the effort of figuring out whether there was a solution for me. I really appreciate it!

And yeah… I could probably type all the characters I need to type through workarounds. But my problem is that I don’t think I should have to relearn how to type in order to switch to Linux. It’s a relatively niche issue I ran into, but I’m clearly not the only one running into it.

Which a shame because I do want Linux to be more widely used than it is currently, and I think small annoyances like this are part of what is holding it back.

  You’re most welcome!

  And yes, I completely 100% agree. Hopefully there will soon be a fix for this, because like you said, it really sounds like something that should be able to be fixed relatively easily, lol.
  
  Anyways, best of luck to you in the future!

    One last question, which you might know perhaps… Where would one go to make feature requests for Linux itself?
    
    If I quickly Google this I find places to make feature requests for specific distros, but not for Linux as a whole. I ask because I suspect this issue is more fundamental to Linux as a whole, rather than the individual distros I tried.

    I suspect that’s something that would need to be brought up either with the developers of the specific program that handles keyboard inputs or languages, if it cannot be changed in general. Or with the individual Desktop Environment projects that create the GUIs to change the underlying settings, if that setting just is not exposed graphically. Unfortunately I don’t know what those would be, but maybe it can help point into a more precise direction for further research. I doubt that it is an issue that goes as deep as the Linux kernel being involved. (Take it with a grain of salt though, I’m mostly speculating.)
