keyboard: compose key

You might like to consider the following!

Open up the file /etc/X11/kbd/symbols corresponding to the file mentioned in 
the keyboard section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and edit the symbol list to get 
a personalised keyboard.

I use a dead_tilde on shift-altgr 2 to provide me with ñ, õ and ã.  Note that 
my basic keyboard layout is French, so my choice of keys would be different 
to yours.  Much simpler than a complex key sequence.

Another possibility - why not set your default keyboard to Portuguese-br and 
have done with all these workarounds?  Then the only "funny" key you will 
need to use is altgr.

Hope this helps
