Hello, I need some help:
in QB64 I cannot type the sinqle quote' and double quote" with the usual key.
So no I have to use Alt-034 and Alt-039.
I use QB64 x64 Version 2.0.2 Stable Realease on Windows 10.

Alt+Shift to alternate to English keyboard, so it’ll work.

Hi @Mans,
Works with the regular keys on a german keyboard here (using CP437 in the Options>Language menu).
BTW - For all members who read this, I'd like to encourage everybody, please fill in the Location in your Forum User Profile. I mean nobody does need to reveal his entire address, but at LEAST the country would be extremly helpful for such language/keyboard/codepage related questions. Also we have members of many different countries here in the forum, which maybe can give help in someone's native language, if he/she's not that familiar with english.

Great. Problem solved: i had to install and use the US keyboard instead of US international. Thanks!

On the US-International keyboard, the apostrophe and quote key is a 'dead' key - that is, it doubles as the acute and umlaut diacritic marks, so that if you type (for example) " then a, you'll get ä. To get the apostrophe or quote, press the key, followed by space.
If QB64 doesn't honor the system settings for keyboard and/or code page, you may get anomalous results - but I never had a problem with older versions.
