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) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Nov 30 20:28:25 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) Package: emacs23 23.1+1-4ubuntu3.1 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-15.50-generic SourcePackage: emacs23 Uname: Linux 2.6.31-15-generic x86_64 ** Affects: emacs23 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug -- Dead key quotes not working properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
