I have the same issue as Alan, comment #37.

UK Macintosh International keyboard. Everything works, except for the single/ double quote key. (That includes ` ~ § ± \ | € £ # (which is obtained via right alt key and backslash key, weirdly. Took ages to work that out for writing code.)

For example, if I want to write 'The cat sat on the mat'.

And I enter <single quote><T><h><e> ... <m><a><t><single quote><.>

I get: (on a new line for clarity, and I typed it exactly with the above keypresses)

he mat

That is, it does not recognise single quotes unless they are followed by a space press. If you do a double <single quote> press, rather than

''

I get

´

So, something that looks like a forward quote. Very similar behaviour occurs using the double quotes.

When I get time, I'll (single quote issue!) try #38 suggestion.
