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.
Created attachment 7311 [details] [review] Suggested fix This patch also adds leftsinglequotemark and rightsinglequotemark to symbols/us(alt-intl)
Good one. Committed. Though I am afraid people with non-unicode locales could have troubles, could not them?
No, IIRC keysym is then ignored. BTW symbols/latin already contains many non-latin1 symbols, and I never heard of any problem.
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..
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?
Denis, it's your call. I warned you;)
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.
