My single quote key is misbehaving

[Fernando M Lacerda]

Hi there!

Seems like you don't want the "key composing" feature. If you want to
type ´ and get ´ with only one move, then you should disable "key
composing" on your "keyboard preferences". But you will be unable to
easily type the composed characters á é í ó ú à è ì ò ù ä ë ï ö ü ã õ
ñ... If this feature means nothing to you at all, this is all up to
you.

But Luis is right, you should know the actual single quote is not the
´ key, but the ' (mine is left from #1, I use a brazilian keyboard
layout).

Cheers!
