Hey,

After reading your answer, I tried a few combinations and found one that produces the right letter. Since I have a US QWERTY keyboard, I do not have the Alt gr key. The one that works for me (a US keyboard) is Right Alt key + , then c => ç . Right Alt key + , then C => Ç. Be sure to use the Right Alt key; it doesn't work with the Left Alt key.

Now that I get it, I will try to modify it using the xmodmap solution Rodolfo Alcázar suggested to make it work with the left Alt key instead to fit my typing style.

In that case, what would be the proper command ? And how to generalize it to all users of the system ?

Thanks,
Stéphane

I'm using Norwegian keyboard layout, but we also use letters with

cédille on my keyboard, I press 'Alt Gr'+',' then the letter 'c' or 'C', 
like this: ç Ç =). 'Alt gr' is my right Alt key. The 'Alt gr'+',' 
combination constitutes what is known as a "dead-key", because no output 
is immediately seen without subsequently pressing another regular key. 
Xev tells me that 'Alt Gr' has the keysym "ISO-Level3-Shift", which 
makes sense. There is also another approach using the "Compose" key, 
which I think will also work if your layout does not use dead keys, 
though I am not sure about this. I can produce the cédille by also 
pressing: 'Shift'+'Alt-gr', then the first part of the composition ',', 
then the letter 'c' or 'C', like this: ç Ç. The 'Shift'+'Alt gr' 
combination has the keysym 'Multi_Key'.
