How to change one key in the keyboard?

Question

I need to change only one key in my keyboard, the key for ç, it is not used in my language nor the keyboard language so I don't know why someone would put that key there, in fact I've only seen that letter in the Portuguese language. I would like to change it to something else, how can i do it?

Answer 1

There are two possibilities:

1. Use this key to perform something useful like opening the calculator, or web browser or, ... by going into system settings - keyboard - shortcuts.

2. As you want to change the standard keyboard layout of a standard language in an OS with automatic updates enabled, you have to create a new language, with a new keyboard layout to be able to change ç to for example % as otherwise any update touching on the language settings of Ubuntu or keyboard layout will reset the work you've done and it'll cause you great frustration and rage... :(

(I've tried it and it's not worth trying to change the standard layout as I use ' and ` more then § and ³)
