I can't figure out how to select the English International Keyboard with dead keys on Ubuntu Kinetic.

This questions has been answered for older releases of Ubuntu (18.04 20.04).

When following the 20.04 instruction, I don't see the US International Keyboard with dead keys available:

    Apart from the fact that 21.10 is unsupported, what happens if you select "English (United States)"? It should offer you a bunch of alternatives, including the one you are looking for. @guiverc: This GNOME design issue is there on all recent releases. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Jan 30 '23 at 22:49
  • @GunnarHjalmarsson Thanks, that fixed it! I didn't realize that there is a sub-menu under "English (United States)". If you make your comment an answer I'll accept it so future users don't have to read the comments. – Brett Holman Jan 30 '23 at 23:11
  • Please feel free to formulate an answer yourself. It's perfectly fine to answer your own question. ;) – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Jan 31 '23 at 00:12

To add the US international keyboard, one must click on the English (United States) in the menu above, which provides a sub-menu that contains the desired keyboard layout:

Settings -> Keyboard -> Input Sources -> + -> English (United States) -> English (US, intl., with dead keys)

Note that selecting a second layout enables a new icon on the gnome desktop taskbar, which may be used to select your keyboard. Alternatively the default keybind super + spacebar will switch layouts.
