Yes, in Ubuntu it's just a check-box: "Use Esperanto circumflexes" or similar. After that right-Alt + c will give you ĉ and so forth. However, in the current long term support release (LTS) this option has vanished from the system settings. The option is still available from the gnome tweak tool if you have it installed. I should probably write up a guide because it took me a long time to find this when I upgraded to the current long term support release of Ubuntu.

Is this only for Unity, or for other DEs as well (KDE, Mate, etc)?

Please do. I can't seem to make the option work in Ubuntu Gnome.

Well, I know it works with the Unity desktop. I haven't tried it with other desktop environments.

In most Debian derivatives it's possible to change keyboard layout with setxkbmap. It's the way I like the most because it works no matter what graphical environment you use. To switch to Esperanto, type (inside your terminal emulator):

setxkbmap epo

Or, in case you want to type Hebrew:

setxkbmap il

And so on. Check out available layouts in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ directory.

La tia jam ekzistas. Tio estas cirila alfabeto. ridulo.gif

Uzante Linukso mi ne suferas pro tiu problemo. La ĉapeletoj plaĉas al mi.
