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.

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
