Typing / Input

Layout: us(altgr-intl) with Caps→Esc and Right Ctrl as Compose (xkb_options caps:escape,compose:rctrl). Normal ' " ` ~ ^ behave as-is; accents only fire through AltGr or Compose.

AltGr (Right Alt) — one or two keystrokes

Keys	Output
`AltGr+5`	`€`
`AltGr+'` then v	`á é í ó ú ý` (dead acute)
`AltGr+~` then v	`ã õ ñ` (dead tilde)
`AltGr+^` then v	`â ê î ô û` (dead circumflex)
AltGr+` v	`à è ì ò ù` (dead grave)
`AltGr+,` then c	`ç` (dead cedilla)
`AltGr+Shift+1`	`¡`
`AltGr+Shift+/`	`¿`
`AltGr+s`	`ß`

Capitals: hold Shift while pressing the target letter (AltGr+' then Shift+a → Á).
