Description Patrick Holthuizen 2007-05-08 13:06:35 UTC
I use debian etch and when I select the dutch keyboard layout for my dutch keyboard the key with the (' `) symbols on it is not dead but it should be dead.

Could you please provide the output of xev when you press that key?

Comment 4 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2007-05-12 05:59:43 UTC
The line you're interested in is in symbols/nl:
key <AC11>  { [dead_acute, dead_grave,   apostrophe,        grave ] };

Could you please try changing last two keysyms to whatever you think would be more appropriate?
Comment 5 Denis Barbier 2007-05-12 12:47:47 UTC
This is a duplicate of 9603, symbols/nl has already been fixed in CVS.
