Hi all
On a new Debian 4.0 installation I have a problem with some keyboard characters - I
have to hit the key twice for them to appear. This occurs with the opening and
closing quotes (` and ') and with the tilde ~. With the closing quote if I enter '
followed by a space I get a plain ' but a double '' generates what looks like one of
those smart quote characters. All other keys are fine and do generate the correct
characters.
The terminal is a gnome-terminal, and keyboard was set to US and charset
ISO8859-1
via a dpkg-reconsigure console-data.
I'm not sure where the problem lies; terminal settings, console, keyboard, character
set, locate etc. Something is wrong and when programming its damned annoying.
