You have been subscribed to a public bug:
I have Caps Lock bound to Compose (under X; it does shift_lock under the
console which I never use). I can successfully enter "é" using
<Compose><'><e>, and I can successfully enter "‘" using <Compose>
<Shift>-<,> <'>, but I cannot (into any application I've tried, which
include Firefox, gnome-terminal, and the text editor) enter the opening
double quote ("“"); it's supposed to be doable using <Compose>
<Shift>-<,> <Shift>-<'> (see, e.g., the X Compose key map at
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/nls/Compose/en_US.UTF-8?view=co )
Notwithstanding a few applications are smart enough to figure out which
quote I want, it would be very nice to be able to type them. A few other
minor lacunae: the degree symbol (<Compose> <o> <o>), the per-mille sign
(<Compose> <%> <o>), the musical sharp sign (<Compose> <#> <#>), and the
one-half symbol (<Compose> <1> <2>). I don't find myself wishing for any
of these last few.
I am using a generic US laptop keyboard, set to Generic 104-key PC and
U.S. English, with an option set to turn Caps Lock into Compose, and no
other options set.
