General ⇒ If i type " i get "' what can i do to change that?

[pollo]

Hi,
iam new to texniccenter (i used winshell for a long time but had to change because of a feature which i just could get to work with texniccenter) and apart from one thing it works without problems.
I iam writing much in german, which means a lot of umlauts (ü,ä,ö), to do this i have to type:
\"o for ö
\"u for ü
and
\"a for ä
this works without problems, but it is a bit more complicated in texniccenter than it was in winshell, because of everytime i type in the " symbol (' " ') the editor write these two symbols: "'
so i have to remove the: ' everytime.
Is there a way to teach the editor to not append this: ' symbol when typing in a: " ?

You can customize TeXnicCenter (TXC) via »Extras« and »Optionen« on the tab »Allgemein« unselected this combination. But it is needed for output of quotation marks when using babel.

The easiest way is to use the right input encoding for your document. This lets you input the characters as you find them on your keyboard. For this you have the choice between inputenc and selinput (from the oberdiek bundle). I prefer the latter one.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[ngerman]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{selinput}
\SelectInputMappings{%
	adierisis={ä},
	germandbls={ß},
	Euro={€}
}
\usepackage{babel}

\begin{document}
  Falsches Üben von Xylophonmusik quält jeden größeren Zwerg.
\end{document}

For more information refer to the manuals of the used packages. You have direct access on your local machine via command prompt.

Code: Select all

texdoc selinput

The manuals can also be found on CTAN.
