Hi, I think it has something to do with my situation, where I can switch between the Dutch and American International keyboard.
The apostroph is used as a dead letter key in order to create letters with an accent aigu. When you need an apostroph itself, you can type a space after typing the apostroph. That is exactly what I did in de j701con, where it worked as well as in j701gtk where it didn't work. I now have removed the Dutch keyboard from my actual Windows keyboard definitions and now it works okay in j701gtk as well!!! So I guess that the "dead letter handling" of j701gtk is at fault here :-) /Arie 2012/9/5 Joey K Tuttle <j...@qued.com> > I just tried gtk on my Mac (for the first time I admit...) and it behaves > as I expect i.e. ' is ' > > This is just a guess, but it looks like whatever shell you are running is > being "helpful" and upon seeing a single quote is declaring it an opening > quote and using the special character (which is indeed a spelling error in > j) > > Perhaps this is a preference setting in the facility you are using > (knowing your environment might be helpful for someone trying to reproduce > the problem).
