The description of the latin-prefix input method contains
cedilla | ~ | ~c -> ç
breve | ~ | ~a -> ă
caron | ~ | ~c -> č
dot above | ~ / . | ~o -> ġ /o -> ġ .o -> ġ
Problems:
1. the 'breve' description is inaccurate, actually ~a -> ã [1]
2. the 'caron' description is inaccurate, actually ~c -> ç
There is however no definition for creating 'a with breve' nor 'c with
caron' in that input method
3. the dot above entry is also inaccurate, actually ~o -> õ /o -> ø .o -> .o
There are definitions for /g -> ġ and .g -> ġ , however
Proposed solution:
1. I donʼt have one. Other input methods use ~a for either a with
tilde or a with breve. We could just fix the docstring
2. We could do ~c -> č instead of ç , which is quite common in other
input methods, and add ,c -> ç , which is in line
with latin-postfix
3. This is a doc issue, we could replace that line with:
dot above | / . | /g -> ġ .g -> ġ
Thoughts? Even "donʼt touch this, ever, people are wedded to these
nits" :-)

Footnotes:
[1] In fact I just noticed a similar doc error in the
romanian-alt-prefix method
