<p>Hello Marcel,</p>
<p>Thank you for your reaction! As far as I know, all five of the
keys 'backquote', 'tilde', 'up-arrow', 'single quote', and
'double-quote' are also used for accentuating other characters,
and thus should indeed (and have always been) 'dead' keys. The
normal behaviour is, IMO, that when you type the dead key, nothing
seems to happen, but when the next key is entered, the
corresponding character is changed, like e.g. a -> á, o ->
ö, etc. Typing a dead key followed by the space key normally
results in the symbol itself being returned.</p>
<p>In a Linux terminal window all this works as expected.<br>
</p>
<p>In a Workspace window on Squeak, not one of these combinations
works! Initially I assumed that a workaround existed by typing the
'dead' key twice; at least for the first four this seemed to work.
But the last one (the double-quote, indeed) looked the same as
when I used the "standard" way as described above.</p>
<p>I attach a small text file demonstrating the results of a few
experiments I did to find out what is happening. Seeing the result
of the "showkey -a" command, I must conclude that not one of the
five accentuations work; the first four "double-type" actions seem
to do, but the last one just receives the unconverted keycodes
(which are being converted correctly by the terminal).</p>
<p>I hope this makes my problem clear. If you need more info, just
let me know...</p>
<p>I have not yet had time to test the Trunk version you mentioned;
I may have an opportunity to try that later this week.</p>
<p>Greetings, Hans.<br>

</div>
<div>should the key to enter single or double quotes be a dead
key at all?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Could you try it in a 6.0alpha (Trunk) and report back?
There is a KeyboardExerciser that shows some more information:</div>

<div>Resize the tool via its halo. It will get keyboard focus on
