How do you used to write Nataša, for example, with the US-keyboard that types the accented-c key? Or the "Đ" letter?

Not that this discussion is of any relevance anymore, since all kinds of suggestions don't seem to reach anyone, but what I suggested at first was to have a keyboard layout in which 'c = ç, as is useful for about 300 million people in the world (Portuguese+French). If that is the default or the default is the accented "c", which is used as a partial incomplete layout by a much smaller fraction of the world's population, is a secondary problem. But I insist we, brazilians, should have the choice of typing 'c for ç, as that is the good choice for touch typists (Alg-Gr combinations are a horrible options, and Mac keyboards don't even have that Alg-Gr key).

Anyway, it is pretty impressive how the suggestion of having an additional keyboard layout that fulfills the needs of so many people (just check on google how many people have posted this problem) can result in so enormous negative feedback.

Ps. In Windows there is a program called "keyboard layout creator", or something like that, with which one can create any keyboard layout one wants. Linux is years light behind on that.
