Hi Hans,

should the key to enter single or double quotes be a dead key at all?

Could you try it in a 6.0alpha (Trunk) and report back? There is a KeyboardExerciser that shows some more information:

KeyboardExerciser new openInWorld.

Resize the tool via its halo. It will get keyboard focus on mouse-enter.

Best,

Marcel

Hello,

I Recently rediscovered Smalltalk and am trying to pick it up again.
However, I cannot type the double-quote character which I may need when
entering a comment.

I am running Squeak 5.3 on Linux, XUbuntu 20.04, with the current
OpenSmalltalk VM. Running the same image on a Windows-10 system all is
well.

All other "dead" keys do what I expect from them. My keyboard has the
standard US-International layout.

Am I the only one who stumbled upon this problem? I have not been able
to find anything about this in the lists.

Regards, Hans Jansen.
