I have been looking everywhere, but all the answers I find do not match what I see. I have Kubuntu 20.04 LTS with KDE plasma 5.18.8 and I cannot find an option in system settings for US International. I am new to Kubuntu and would really appreciate some help. If you need any other information let me know. I do not know enough to know what information you need on this.

Thank you. I had looked there, but couldn't find the correct option, but seeing that you had it, I pushed a little harder and found it! I do appreciate it!Comment

Note that there are many variants for some layouts, such as English (US) and the particular layout you refer to, "US International", may be closest to one of the English (US) variants. Click Add, choose "English (US)" in the Layout drop down, then click the Variant drop down. I missed that for a long time.
I use the "EurKEY" layout; it has a "dead greek" key for Greek letters, of which I use a few often. It has most of the diacritics used in European languages, but annoyingly not the vowels with macrons. (Did someone consider Lithuania or Latvia not in Europe?
). I need them to type Māori greetings and the like correctly.
So, I use a compose key, set to be the "Pause" key. I find the compose sequences to be mostly very intuitive, and quickly learned when not so intuitive, f.ex. a asterisk for å. Handy for some other oddballs I need, such as compose-o-o for °, or compose-^-3 for ³. Discovering compose-F-U was a real lol, quite a chuckle. 🖖 is for trekkies, compose-L-L-A-P.Regards, John LittleComment

Thank you, I will keep playing with it myself. German with it's umlauts and such is my main concern. I do use Greek a lot, but I have some applications with their own defined Greek and Hebrew keyboards for that. I will also want to learn more about using the compose key etc. Thank you for your insight.Comment
