Does anyone have any advice or suggestions to help Ivan with how to enter a caret (^) on a Portuguese ABNT2 keyboard?

My original reply to the beginners list on Dec 30 may have been blocked, so I am copying Ivan directly on this message.

Original question on the beginners list is at https://lists.squeakfoundation.org/archives/list/beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org/thread/X2S35S4D6OWZV3JVL3NBSMMFKKO4WTP3/

and squeak-dev follow up is at https://lists.squeakfoundation.org/archives/list/squeak-dev@lists.squeakfoundation.org/thread/MMOG6HETYWUYRNIIELYIZ2TEZJWY36O2/

Thanks,

Dave


Here is a screenshot to show what's happening:

My keyboard layout works just fine on GNOME. Thanks in advance!

My environment:
OS: Linux (GNOME DE)
Keyboard layout: Portuguese ABNT2
Squeak version: Squeak6.0-22104-64bit-202206021410-Linux-x64

I do not know the answer to your question, but it may be a complex issue so I am CC'ing the squeak-dev developers' list for help.

From what I can gather from a search on the net (https://kbdlayout.info/KBDBR/), the caret key may require some special handling for the Portuguese ABNT2  keyboard. Possibly gnome knows about this and Squeak does not.

Does anyone on the squeak-dev list have a tip for how to enter a caret (^) on a Portuguese ABNT2 keyboard? Replies should include to the beginners list please.
