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
