Bug#370804: compose for apostrophe is rather silly in en_US.UTF-8



Package: xlibs-data
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-5bpo2
Severity: minor
File: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

# ASCII characters that may be difficult to access
# on some keyboards.
...
<Multi_key> <apostrophe> <space>        : "'"   apostrophe
<Multi_key> <space> <apostrophe>        : "'"   apostrophe
...
<Multi_key> <asciicircum> <space>       : "^"   asciicircum
<Multi_key> <space> <asciicircum>       : "^"   asciicircum
...
<Multi_key> <grave> <space>             : "`"   grave
<Multi_key> <space> <grave>             : "`"   grave
...
<Multi_key> <asciitilde> <space>        : "~"   asciitilde
<Multi_key> <space> <asciitilde>        : "~"   asciitilde

One wonders, if apostrophe is hard to type on your keyboard how typing
multi-apostrophe-space is going to be any eaiser. (etc.)
