Disabling accent key ´ ` ^~
I enabled the kde keyboard tool so I could easily switch between the "U.S. English (us)" and "Dvorak (dvorak)" layouts. Now my qwerty layout is creating accented vowels whenever I type a quote-like character followed by the vowel. Since this forces me to press the quote twice to produce one literal character, it's pretty darn annoying.
I tried substituting in both "U.S. English w/ deadkeys (us_intl)" and "U.S. English w/ ISO9995-3 (en-US)" - the latter works but I'm not sure if it's what I had before, or what the differences are between it and the others.
The command line that my first layout uses is: setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -variant intl. Is there an option that I can add to remove the auto-accents, or is it totally dependent on the layout?\"Nifty News Fifty: When news breaks, we give you the pieces.\" - Sluggy Freelance

The real point of US International is so that you can do:
and end up with:Code:pin~atas are u:ber cool!!!
May I ask why you want the international variant?Code:piñatas are über cool!!!

Er, I didn't realize that was the international version. I thought intl was a reference to a standard.
So I guess this means the only Qwerty layout I want is the (en-US) one. Thanks.
