[ILUG] Putty

[Smith, Graham - Computing Technician]

It dosnt happen at the tty in Linux usually - thats why it hadnt bothered me
up
until now - where i find i'm doing a lot of remote work from a windows
workstation.
I feel a bit stupid for not trying a space after it.. i must have tried
everything else
after it.

It is puzzling as to why it acts so odd and dosnt behave like other
characters.
I wonder is it an issue with all other keyboard localisation or just
uk/irish.
Surely all irish/uk keyboards cant have the same irritating problem.

I had noticed in windows before that pressing it followed by a vowel would
produce an accent over the letter:  è ì ù ò à

I hadnt noticed any copy/paste anomalies - in fact copy and paste was my
fix.
It must affect a _lot_ of people - i'm sure there are lots of people like me
that have to use windows in work for one reason or another and access linux
remotely....

Anyway - thanks for the solution Colm, it will save me a lot of
copy/pasting!

G.

don't think its related to just putty at all, it appears to happen in pretty
much every program, wonder what the official reason is.
