How can I use quotes and cedilla without having to press the right alt key in the international American keyboard layout? I am using Gentoo and dwm. My keyboard is configured with the command setxkbmap us -variant alt-intl but whenever I need to use double or single quotes or cedilla, I need to press the `alt` key. How can I configure my keyboard so I don't have to press `alt`, just the quote key?

* Check if the dead_acute is set:

`xmodmap -pke | grep dead_acute`

* Else, get the keycode: `xev`

* And set the flag with:

`xmodmap -e "keycode 48 = dead_acute dead_diaeresis dead_acute dead_diaeresis apostrophe quotedbl apostrophe"`

* Put this in your `~/.XCompose`:





include "%L"

# Overriding C with acute:
: "Ç" Ccedilla # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA
: "ç" ccedilla # LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA


* And this in your `~/.xinitrc`:




export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim # Make compose key work
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
