Support for ABNT2 keyboard layout

Is there any plan for supporting ABNT2 keyboard layout (Brazilian layout)?
It is a great leap introducing international keyboard, but customizing keyboard layouts or including additional layouts would be a nice feature.

Some languages require the use of dead keys, cediles, cincunflexes, etc, etc.

There are some options developed by third parties: like Ukelele or Brasileiro programs.
My major concern is just about not using an official program when just adding info to my computer. One of my decisions when buying a Mac was about security concerns.

I would like to hear comments about risk concerns and tests about these 2 programs (Ukelele and Brasileiro) as well.

Thank you very much,

Nobody here can tell you anything about Apple's plans, we are just users like yourself. To tell Apple what you want, use this link:

There is absolutely no need to be concerned about Ukelele and keyboards made by it. Countless people have been using them now for many years without any problem. I myself have made an ABNT keyboard available to people for a long time now:
