You sent your question to the wrong mailing list. I've taken the liberty to forward it to xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com. I guess that you are a Mac user. Your question is far from being stupid. In fact, it is *THE* question to ask us. On *all* platforms, but the Mac: in order to input '?' (i.e. when you don't have a key for this character on your keyboard), you need to type a dead key for '..' and then, the regular 'u'. On the Mac, this does not work for Java apps like XXE. Unless you support input methods (which, IMHO, have been designed for oriental languages, and therefore are overkill for western languages), we have found no way to directly input characters such as '?'. We have of course filed a bug report to Apple (with no answer because they probably do not consider this as a bug). So, may be we'll have to support input methods in the future. Does this make XXE on the Mac unusable for non-English authors? Unfortunately, yes. The (very ugly) workaround is to define your own keyboard bindings for these letters. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/configure/ch03.html.
