TYPE ACCENTED CHARACTERS IN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE
This is an example stack to demonstrate the typing of accented characters into a LiveCode text entry box
under Linux (Gnome).
The relevant part of the stack to examine is the rawKeyDown handler.
Please note that in this example, the full Latin set is not covered: only the Portuguese part is covered, so if you
attempt to type a character like "è" for example, it will not work since this character does not exist in Portuguese.
Upon loading this stack, the kind of keyboard you have on your computer will be determined, and for the
purposes of this example it needs to be either a US (international) keyboard or a Brazilian ABNT2 keyboard.
Using the Brazilian ABNT2 keyboard, just type as you normally would.
However, if you are using a US keyboard, please refer to the "Mini-Help" for general instructions.
It may be the case that not all of you are interested in enabling your LiveCode/Linux programs to permit the
operator to type in Brazilian Portuguese. However, this stack might serve as an example of how to solve (or
how NOT to solve!) a similar problem in another language.
