I'm trying to use the English (intl. with dead keys AltGr) layout, since I have a US keyboard, but need to write italian text.
The combination of AltGr+accent+letter works fine, but the layout also offers the shortcut AltGr+letter that has the problem that by default outputs vowels with acute accent (á, é, etc), while most italian words use the grave accent (à, è, etc).
Is there a way to change the base layout to use grave accented letters instead?

You can open the file
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us
for editing, go to the xkb_symbols "altgr-intl" variant, and add these modified lines:The change should be effective instantly. Please note that you may need to redo it if the
xkb-data
package is updated.
