Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: emacs23
When using the USA international keyboard layout (with dead keys), it is
not possible to insert a single (') or a double (") quote. Normally this
can be done by pressing the appropriate quote key followed by a space.
In Karmic's emacs23 this doesn't insert a quote character but a ¨
(dead_diaeresis?) instead of a double quote and ´ (acute?) instead of a
single quote.
This used to work in Jaunty and older.
xterm has the same problem, so this might actually be a bug in the input
driver but I'm not quite sure about that..
Here's a workaround. It's not perfect, though.
(defun insert-dquote ()
(interactive)
(insert "\""))
(defun insert-squote ()
(interactive)
(insert "'"))
(global-set-key "¨" 'insert-dquote)
(global-set-key "´" 'insert-squote)
