Hello World of Mulinux!
The real name of this Keyboard map is "US INTERNATIONAL"
for those countries that doesn´t have a specific Keyboard map.
We, Brasilian, have our Key map, ABNT2, but supplyers and users like the
old US International. (Do you know why? Brasilian keyboard is 1 dollar
more expensive).
It´s not good for American people, cause after a quote or others it
keeps waiting for a "a", "e" "i" "o" "u" to make a composition like "ä"
"á" "à". If you type space just after quote or the others the actual
sign appears.
