You need to change your keyboard layout to Portuguese (Brazil, eliminate dead keys). Follow these steps to change the default layout:

  1. Open System Settings from the Applications menu.
  2. Select Keyboard under the Hardware section.
  3. Click the Layout button.
  4. On the left side list box you will see a + button, click it.
  5. From the Language drop-down box, select Portuguese (Brazil). From the Layout drop-down box, select Portuguese (Brazil, eliminate dead keys). Click Add Layout.
  6. Highlight Portuguese (Brazil, eliminate dead keys) from the list box.

This should result in the proper keyboard layout.
