I'm trying to switch to Linux Mint on a VM. My Portuguese keyboard works fine, but some symbols like ç and é don't behave properly when using ctrl + alt. The issue seems simple, but I haven't managed to resolve it yet. Thanks in advance!

To launch debconf, use the low-level setup utility. Bye

I had already configured the correct keyboard settings before downloading mint.

This command sequence, Ctrl+Alt, appears in various virtual machine managers. You might want to check if your version supports an alternative like Ctrl+Alt+Shift...

It doesn't function properly because the setup requires selecting a generic keyboard model via debconf that matches your existing keyboard. For details, refer to the source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout. You need to set the language and key configurations through debconf, then ensure persistence by running the specified commands after updating packages and upgrading the system.

I don't believe those shortcuts are just for opening the terminal.

Use the new Input Remapper GUI to change keyboard and mouse button layouts on Linux. It works with both X11 and Wayland interfaces.

In Windows I need to use Ctrl + Alt, whereas on Linux I must press Alt + G to obtain square brackets
