Multilingual input
For multilingual, it is a headache to input multiple languages easily on Ubuntu. As you have more languages under your belt, it is increasingly inconvenient to switch input between different languages. I figured that one can use the compose key on Ubuntu to input multiple languages which use Latin script alphabet without changing the input.
Set Right-Ctrl as the compose key
Open the Settings and set Right-Ctrl as the compose key.
Input multiple languages!
With the use of the compose key, you can input latin script with different diacritics.
| Input method | Result |
|---|---|
| Right-Ctrl + ~ + n | ñ |
| Right-Ctrl + , + c | ç |
| Right-Ctrl + ' + a | á |
| Right-Ctrl + ` + u | ù |
| Right-Ctrl + " + o | ö |
| Right-Ctrl + ^ + e | ê |
| Right-Ctrl + * + a | å |
