When I'm using arguments with quotes in the Terminal, the quote is first highlighted and then changes to a special character when certain characters are entered after it.

For example trying to type "u changes to ü.

How do I disable this?

I'm on OS X El Capitan, 10.11.6

  • Could you give a more complete example of this? I'm in Terminal and I can type a double-quote, then a lowercase u, and the umlaut does not appear.

  • Well I can't really explain it any further. I must have changed a system setting somewhere that enables it but I have no idea how to change it back (I'm not a mac guy).

  • Hi Jimmi, welcome to Ask Different. Which keyboard is configured on your Mac? (You can find this information in Apple menu>System Preferences>Keyboard>Input Sources)

Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and get rid of the layout called US International PC. Use US or ABC instead.

If you are using iTerm2, then select Esc+ for the Left Option Key in Preferences > Profile > Keys. Then you can use Option-b for the previous word and Option-f for the next word.
