Nice! Thank you all for your help. I will check this out further when I get home tonight.
Although I studied French and German in my younger years, English is really the only language that I am typing these days; I don't often need to type accents, but I am frequently needing to use an apostrophe or needing a single quote when writing code. Since I didn't find this feature in Ubuntu, I made the incorrect assumption that this was a bug. Thanks again for all of your help! - Darrin On Nov 28, 2007 5:33 AM, Luis de Bethencourt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mine is below the ? key. > ' -> without shift > ? -> with shift > > Spanish keyboard.
