Re: keyboard problem?
For yr info, companheiro, I had precisely the same problem with a
Fujitsu Siemens S6410. As even Fujitsu Siemens technical support could
not help me with the solution, I decided to find out on my own. Guess
what, Wikipedia gave me the "Caminho das Pedras". Here you got:
-------------------------------------------------
UK-Extended Layout
Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and above provide the UK-Extended layout which
behaves exactly the same as the standard UK layout for all the
characters it can generate, but can additionally generate a number of
diacritical marks. Not all combinations work on all keyboards.
acute accents (á) on a,e,i,o,u,w,y,A,E,I,O,U,W,Y are generated by
pressing the AltGr key together with the letter, or AltGr and
apostrophe, followed by the letter (see note below);
grave accents (à) on a,e,i,o,u,w,y,A,E,I,O,U,W,Y are generated by
pressing the backquote (`), then the letter;
circumflex (â) on a,e,i,o,u,w,y,A,E,I,O,U,W,Y is generated by AltGr and
6, followed by the letter;
diaeresis (ä)on a,e,i,o,u,w,y,A,E,I,O,U,W,Y is generated by AltGr and
2, then the letter;
tilde (ã) on a,n,o,A,N,O is generated by AltGr and #, then the letter;
cedilla (ç) under c,C is generated by AltGr and the letter.
These combinations are designed to be easy to remember, as the
circumflex accent is similar to a caret, printed above the 6 key; the
diaeresis is similar to the double-quote (") above 2 on the UK keyboard;
the tilde (~) is printed on the same key as the #.
UK-Extended does not cater for many languages written with Latin
characters, including Romanian and Turkish, or any using different
character sets such as Greek and Russian.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
The AltGr and letter method used for acutes and cedillas will not work
for applications which assign short-cut menu functions to these key
combinations. For acute accents the AltGr and apostrophe method should
be used.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hence I configured my computer with United Kingdom as "input language"
and "United Kindom extended" on the keyboard layout. Not a Brastemp, but
works allright, so far. Just a matter of getting used to "Alt Gr" for
most of the typing (as per instructions above), whenever one needs to
punctuate portuguese/brazilian way.
Boa Sorte.
