Acer Keyboard
The keyboard of my Acer AS3810T-6376 is in the American standard layout.
In most desktop environments, it is easy to configure the keyboard, but in Awesome you must do it
manually.
In
rc.conf:KEYMAP="us-acentos"In
.xinitrc:setxkbmap -model acer_laptop -layout us -variant intl -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
The only issue is with the ç character, which must be inserted by pressing AltGr + ,, which is a
bit impractical.
One way to fix this is to create a shortcut using ~/.xmodmap
Create the file
~/.xmodmap:xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmapAnd edit the line
keycode 54 = c C ccedilla Ccedilla
I’m a Brazilian computer engineer based in Germany, passionate about tech, science, photography, and languages.
I’ve been programming for about two decades already, exploring everything from mobile apps and web development to machine learning. These days I focus on cloud SRE and data engineering.
I volunteer in the open source and Python communities, helping organize PyCon DE and PyData Berlin, mentoring, and contributing with code and translations.
On my blog, I share Linux tips, setup guides, and personal notes I’ve written for future reference. I hope others find them helpful as well. The content is available in multiple languages.

Away from the keyboard, you’ll find me at concerts, playing clarinet, cycling, scuba diving, or exploring new places, cultures, and cuisines.
Always happy to connect! 🙂
