Re: [OS X TeX] how to get the ï character ?

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	Recently I realized TeXShop has problems entering some vocals with the 
dieresis  ¨ on top, at least in my setup which uses the ISO Latin 1 
file encoding by default and the \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} option 
in every file I edit. Whenever I want to enter ä, ö or ü (using the 
U.S. Keyboard layout, since Spanish - ISO does not have that diacritic 
accent), TeXShop replaces my input with ¨\"a and so for the other two. 
This does not happen, however, with the other vocals, which are 
directly accepted as expected.

	I suspect this is a small bug in TeXShop and that's why I Cc Richard 
here. Lets hope we can see a fix for it in next release, or an 
explanation in the other case. Regards,...

PS: Needless to say, ¨\"a is a bad replacement in any case, because it 
yields a solitary dieresis followed by the proper vocal with the 
dieresis on top. A proper one, should the direct input be impossible 
for any reason (hardly the likelihood!), would simply be \"a.
