i am using NANO as my everyday text editor. I'm using an old laptop, so NANO it's fast, lightweight, and saves me battery. The only problem is the fact i can't use Special Characters and accents.
For example, as i am from Brazil, i need to use some everyday-accentued-portuguese-characters: à, á, Ç, ç, ó, ô, õ, ã, â...
Is there any way i can enable it?
To make õ be printed if '~' + 'o' is pressed, or ü if '¨' + 'u' is pressed...
Thank you :)
Check you keyboard layout, maybe with the help of right-alt you have the characters.

If you're just using a terminal emulator (terminator/gnome-terminal/etc) you can still use the Compose-Key combinations.
And/or if you're using a TTY and these keys are keys you have on your keyboard, you might just need to set your keyboard up correctly:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
´ + a it returns me á, but if i type it on nano, it returns me ´a
