Quotation marks

[Chris H]

Slackware 10, 2.4 kernel, xorg

Single and double quotation marks donīt enter on one click, I need to click the key twice to get them to display.

Actually only occurs in Dropline Gnome 2.6

Any ideas?

You probably have your keyboard set to US-International, or something similar. What this does is easily allow you to input accents, umlauts, tildes, etc. on top of letters. So instead of memorizing the key-codes or going to character map each time you want an accented a, you can just do a' and it will turn into á. This is most likely what the problem is, so just change your keyboard settings, and see if that helps.

Hiya.

The only options for keyboard in xorg.conf are

Option "XkbModel" "pc102"

Option "XkbLayout" "uk"

Have tried combinations of 105 & uk but no change.

hmmm... that's strange. I'll hafta sleep on it

Iīve got the same problem. I just off to chec the dropline forums to see if theyīve got anything.

I *did* notice that the quotation marks appear different to normal ones. I think itś some internationalization thing.

If I find out anything, Iĺl post back here.

IIRC its pc104 not pc102 for the uk keyboard layout.

[Orestes]

In gconf-editor -

desktop/gnome/periherals/keyboard/xkb

set layouts to [gb]

Job done!

What if im not running Gnome

[Orestes]

Then set it in your Xorg.conf or whatever.

desktop/gnome/periherals/keyboard/xkb doesnīt exist on my system.

Changed gb to uk in xorg.conf but still no joy
