Description Noam Yorav-Raphael 2010-02-24 11:22:12 UTC 
Hello,

If you use the US-international keyboard layout and type text in a textbuffer or an entry, you get fancy quotes instead of the normal quotes you get in native win32 apps:

¨ ´
instead of
" '

I used notepad to create the latter.

To write quotes in this layout, you have to type the quote key (" or ') and then space.

To reproduce, just add the US-international keyboard layout and try typing quotes in a text view.

I report this as a follow up on https://bugs.launchpad.net/dreampie/+bug/525469 - when programming, it really makes a difference...

Thanks,
Noam

(I assume this is on Windows, based on the "OS" field? If not, please reopen.)

(Ah, yes you indeed implicitly say so when you compare to "native" win32 apps.) 

(Btw, I dislike the use of the term "native" to indicate apps that use some  Microsoft toolkit. GTK+ apps on Windows aren't any less "native", as the opposite of "native" is "emulated" or "interpreted", neither of which attributes suits a GTK+ app on Windows.)

Sorry about the terminology. Personally it doesn't matter to me at all how the application GUI was written, and PyGTK is a great way to write GUI applications. However, I don't think of a better term: I could use "applications that use the standard win32 gui library" or something, but that's much longer than "native applications".
