My single quote key is misbehaving

[Darrin Goodman]

Nice!  Thank you all for your help.  I will check this out further
when I get home tonight.

Although I studied French and German in my younger years, English is
really the only language that I am typing these days; I don't often
need to type accents, but I am frequently needing to use an apostrophe
or needing a single quote when writing code.

Since I didn't find this feature in Ubuntu, I made the incorrect
assumption that this was a bug.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Personally, I'd argue that MS is the dark side. Linux is
enlightenment. Obi-won would have used Linux. Yoda probably BSD
without GUI. Han would have used Sabayon (lots of glitz). Luke would
have used a Mac :)
