Double quotes on Pharo


I'm running Pharo 4.0 on top Fedora 21. When I type double quotes I'm getting this:

˙˙

Instead of

"

How to work around this problem? Thanks in advance!

Edit: By the way, typing twice single quotes do not work.


Solution

  • OK... I'm really up to put comments in my code...

    Looking at my new keyboard's layout: enter image description here

    we can see that to get the proper double quotes I actually need to press Shift and ¨ keys while having the Super R (ALT GR) key pressed down.

    It was supposed to be the same for others applications, such as Firefox, OpenOffice Writer, but seems they were designed to leave keyboard interactions up to the operating system to supply them with processed keyboard characters.

    Anyway, there's nothing wrong with Pharo. It's actually interpreting the keyboard as it is.

    Thanks for the comments!
