#27 Cannot type "f" followed by "i"

[Anonymous]

I am using a Macintosh Powerbook 3400c, with OS 8.6. I
installed the MacSSH, however a peculiar problem has
developed which has made the program unusable for me. I
am unable to type in the letter "f," followed by the
letter "i" as in the command "find." This problem seems
to be the only one I have found with this program. Any
idea what the problem is?

I have absolutely no idea.
You're the first report like this, and there's quite some
MacSSH users.
Are you sure this is not a hardware problem with your
keyboard ?

Upon further tinkering, I figured out the problem. I am in
the publishing industry where we use ligatures as part of our
font sets. Once I turned off ligatures globally, MacSSH
recognizes my "find" command (it could not recognize the "fi"
of "find" due to the fact that the computer creates a
ligature of "f' followed by "i"). Is there any way around
this so I don't have to turn off ligatures every time I
intend to use MacSSH? Thanks!

I'm afraid there's not much I can do in MacSSH itself.
Doesn't the extension that patches the system for these
ligatures have an option to deactivate itself for a list of
applications ?
