I have two computers:

(i) My old one: DELL XPS 13, American Keyboard, running NixOS (Linux distribution) and GNOME Desktop Environment

(ii) My new one: A MacBook Air M1, American Keyboard, running Monterey 12.5 and Apple's default Desktop Environemnt.

It is important to highlight that, despite the American keyboards, I am Brazilian and I need Brazilian Portuguese input to type things such as "ç", "ã", "é", "à".

Right. Things used to work in my old Linux. There are just 3 options for input in Portuguese in GNOME. And only one for Brazilian Portuguese:

My config was:

To type things such as ã I need to press the following keys, first the orange one, then the blue one:

Now, I would like to have exactly the same keybindings to provide the same character in a macOS. How to do it considering there are 4 options for Portuguese input (3 for Brazilian Portuguese) in my macOS machine?

In order to have the same keybindings for the same characters in the two different machines using different Operational Systems, choose Brazilian - ABNT2 on the Mac machine.

    There are also ways to change keybindings on MacOS and probably on NixOS. The US keyboard on MacOS also has "press and hold" to support all characters in Portuguese and others. Maybe something like that can be installed in nixOS.

  • @TomGewecke, thanks for trying to help. Be careful with editions, you changed it to the wrong symbol. Now, I have re-edited it to be ã. Commented Aug 7, 2022 at 22:12

    You have fixed it now, all is correct when you use the "Brazilian ABNT2" input source instead of "Brazilian" I removed earlier comments. Commented Aug 23, 2022 at 10:01
