Bug Description
Binary package hint: ktouch
Problem:Ktouch allows characters that can't be typed with the current layout, making it so there is no possible way to finish the lesson.
Possible solutions:
Have ktouch remove all the characters that are untypeable with the current keyboard layout.
Have ktouch show you how to type the code for the character with alt or whatever.

Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1)
OS: Linux
Both when I open a plain text file or a lecture I made with ktouch, it allows characters that I can't type with the current layout into the lesson. This means that I can't finish the lesson because it is impossible to type the character.
Some of the characters that I have run across that caused problems:Mdash, smart quotes, copyright symbols, etc.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Make a plain text file with one of the following characters:Mdash, smart quotes, copyright symbols.
Open the plain text file (File > Open Plain Text File)
Try to finish the lesson, but notice that you can't since you get the special characters wrong and there is no way to correct them.
Make a lecture file with one of the following characters:Mdash, smart quotes, copyright symbols. (File > Edit Lecture. "Create a new lecture", etc).
Open the plain text file (File > Open Lecture)
Try to finish the lesson, but notice that you can't since you get the special characters wrong and there is no way to correct them.
Actual Results:
You cannot finish the lesson because it is impossible to type the characters.
Expected Results:
Not 100% which one of these:
+ When opening lecture/plain text files, characters not on the keyboard should be removed.
+ Show how to enter the code for the character with the alt key (or whatever key is used).
+ Make lecture editor remove characters not on the keyboard layout.
