Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

For PC latin keyboards (including gb which I'm using) the following
characters can be inputted using AltGr:

  AltGr-V          “  (U+201C - Left double quotation mark)
  AltGr-B          ”  (U+201D - Right double quotation mark)
  AltGr-Shift-V    `  (U+0060 - Grave accent)
  AltGr-Shift-B    '  (U+0027 - Apostrophe)

However the use of the last two as quote charaters is deprecated - see
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html for details.  So the
last two key combinations should be changed to produce the following
instead:

  AltGr-Shift-V    ‘  (U+2018 - Left single quotation mark)
  AltGr-Shift-B    ’  (U+2019 - Right single quotation mark)

I've included a patch for /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/latin that does
this.

Cheers,
Mark.
