A friend gifted me a laptop with US layout. One day I figured I really needed those German characters. I did the same as @[email protected], except I ended up picking the US-International layout, and removed the old layout since I didn't need it anymore.

That one works as well, but I dislike the way quotes work on that keyboard. I never got used to that.

You're right, I misremembered! I tried US-International, and because of that exact issue you mentioned switched to EurKEY. In my case it wasn't part of the layout selection, so I had to change it in a config file.
