More information is that I use a US keyboard so to make the cedilha, I need to 
type ' and then the "c".
Upgraded keynote to v0.7.1, same problem.

What is your operating system? (GNU/Linux, Windows, MacOs, ...)
If GNU/Linux, what distribution?

Ah, and this is how my Windows is configures to work with language and keyboard.
Note that i use a US keyboard to input Brazilian Portuguese language with all 
its accents.

There is a similar problem on Windows 7 starter. 
The ç is substituted by "c acute" (c´) that is a letter from Czech alphabet, 
not from Portuguese.

I noted today something also related to this problem.
When you want to write "Let's go", for example. On all the other software in my 
pc I type the "t" then "'" then s, immediately one after another.
If I do this in keep note, it will read "Letś go". It seems KN is 
understanding the "s" is to be written accented when it's not.
In summary, the expected behavior is that, when I type the apostrophe "'" 
followed by a letter to be accented by it, then it should put as accent but, if 
the following letter is not to be accented, then it interperse the "'" between 
the 2 letter. That is what KN is not doing.

My problem is not similar, but it is the same as orkgand´s one. 
The Operating System is the same (Windows 7), and the keyboard is US too.

As I mentioned yesterday, for writings like "I'm", OK, I can type it 
differently:
"I" then <space> then "'" then the "m".
Difference is that I need to add the <space> in the writing. Just in KN.
But for the "ç", so far, I found no way to get it. Unless I use its extended 
ASCII code 135.

I use Ubuntu/Linux setup with Int' US keyboard' the c cédille (ç) used to be 
generated using an apostrophe + c. But now it is RightALT+comma + c .

Maybe it's the same for your setup?

Hey, that's a good hint: right-ALT+comma to get the "ç". Here in my case i 
didn't even need to type the "c". Just the right-ALT+,
Very cool.
But i keep waiting for a solution to be able to use the keyboard in KeepNote 
like I use on all the other software.
Tkx much.

Pity.

Orks, I have not used windows since '95', but from your screenshot this is what 
I understand is happening...

Keyboard selection is based on input language. Your default input language is 
Portuguese which is associated to a US international keyboard.

When using keepnote, it uses the default system input language (I believe is 
setup through "Regional settings" or similar) which I assume is Portuguese in 
your case, and this is why the USint keyboard is used.

Your other applications may be using a specific regional configuration, ie 
English and thus the plain US keyboard is used. In MS Office, if I remember 
right, it is possible to set the default language to something different from 
the system default.

If you use both languages often, I suggest you only use the USint keyboard; it 
is built for that purpose. Most if not all characters can be built by pressing 
the '`~^" keys followed by a letter and with the alt+ ,./ etc keys to create 
more.
You only need to learn to press the space bar after an apostrophe (') if that's 
what you want. It become second nature. In fact if I use a plain US keyboard I 
always end up doing  "what' s"

Whenever I setup a new computer, there is this period where I have 2 keyboards 
on the go, and it seems that the system keeps using the one I'm not expecting, 
and I have to switch the keyboard to the one I want. Solution... get rid of US, 
keep USint.

Hope this is of help

Orks,
I tried Windows 7... the US alt keyboard is not as complete as in Linux(Ubuntu) 
but is enough for Portuguese/French/Spanish alphabet. And yes 'ç' only needs 
ALT+,

Thanks for the contribution, just reviewed it but did not find a way to resolve 
it have KeepNote to accept my typing like all other windows applications.
So my typings are full of letś, whatś and aćões.
When I remember I use the ALT, for the ç.
Anyway, it's still a very good software.
