Description Denis Barbier 2006-09-04 13:21:45 UTC
As reported in http://bugs.debian.org/308196, symbols/latin could
use Unicode quotes instead of apostrophe/grave at the 4th level,
which are already available.  The bug submitter provided a patch.
Comment 1 Denis Barbier 2006-10-09 14:27:08 UTC
Created attachment 7311 [details] [review]
Suggested fix

This patch also adds leftsinglequotemark and rightsinglequotemark
to symbols/us(alt-intl)
Comment 2 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-10-09 14:38:09 UTC
Good one. Committed. Though I am afraid people with non-unicode locales could
have troubles, could not them?
Comment 3 Denis Barbier 2006-10-09 15:01:01 UTC
No, IIRC keysym is then ignored.
BTW symbols/latin already contains many non-latin1 symbols,
and I never heard of any problem.
Comment 4 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-10-09 15:05:26 UTC
That's what I mean - earlier these people could get some characters, now they'll
get nothing;) Anyway, I just tagged 0.9. Releasing everything as it is..
Comment 5 Johan Dahlin 2007-04-01 09:52:45 UTC
I happen to like the old way of being able to type aring by using alt-0.
The patch in attachment 7311 [details] [review] broke that, I'd really like to have a way to be able to type it, alt+0 seems like the obvious choice for it.

Can the quotes be moved to a separate combination?

Is it worth opening another bug for this regression?
Comment 6 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2007-04-01 09:57:04 UTC
Denis, it's your call. I warned you;)
Comment 7 Denis Barbier 2007-04-01 15:02:00 UTC
Ok, but I am very busy at the moment.  Johan, please file
a new bugreport, otherwise I will forget about this issue,
my memory is almost full.  Thanks.
