I fixed that.

Anyway, the trick was to dump the following into
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us:
key <AD07> { [ u, U, udiaeresis, Udiaeresis ] };
key <AD09> { [ o, O, odiaeresis, Odiaeresis ] };
key <AC01> { [ a, A, adiaeresis, Adiaeresis ] };
key <AC02> { [ s, S, U00DF, NoSymbol ] };
So, let me get this straight ...
What started as a joke (i.e., use a diaeresis instead of an umlaut) actually
turned out to be correct? How weird is that?! how does the
'us' file determine the compose key, or is that set through
the Control Center? it must be possible to set it here instead.
us, meaning US for locale?
in my case the 'us' file set for:
xkb_symbols "basic" {
name[Group1] = "English (US)";
....
I have not played with .xmodmap.

Didn't think of xkb, but that makes sense.
The problem with single and double quotes has me stumped, but I don't use your
keyboard setup. I doubt that this could be an issue; however, I did
have some problems getting
Q4OS to work as I wanted. In particular, as I recall, I could not set my
password using "special characters" -- although I imagine it was possible to
change that later, if I had got more into it. It is one of those kinds of
snags that happen more often with preconfigured stuff, such as Q4OS. I didn't
stay long with Q4OS, but went straight for Debian and then Devuan.
Just throwing it out there for consideration.
spent yrs with Devuan, no problem. I think I threw Q4OS on for no
particular reason and never bothered to change it nor do any ambitious
configuration - no incentive given my usage.
guess the main problems of configuration I've had are with printing
and with, well, printing. works now. then suddenly a month or so ago,
the Umlaut issue. also tricking my way past a hotel portal.
I have MX on another machine. too 'busy' for me though configures
itself quite handily.
thank you for the help and encouragement!
