[Cialug] HP Probook 4520s Keyboard

[Todd Pierce]

Would dead keys actually make the quote and apostrophe be completely
different characters (look the same but not acceptable to a compiler)?  If
I type He´s normally I get Heś.  Basically, the apostrophe gives me an
accent mark over the following character (unless I hit it twice).
