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.)
