    Unhappy Keyboard Woes

    I have a MS Natural KB, and shift-2 gives you double quotes, instead of the at symbol, and the question mark slash key gives an é.

    I have tried different layouts, and I can seem to find the right layout, for
    this keyboard.

    Re: Keyboard Woes

    System->Preferences->Keyboard, under the "Layouts" tab, choose Generic 105-key (Intl) PC as your "Keyboard Model:". Selected layout should be U.S English.
    Steady movement is more important than speed, much of the time. So long as there is a regular progression of Stimuli to get your mental hooks into, there is room for lateral movement. Once this begins, its rate is a matter of discretion.

    You may have to logout and then log back in again for your keyboard change to take place.

    No Luck with that either

    It might just have to be trial and error

    Using your terminal, try to execute sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to reset your keyboard layout.

    That didn't work

    in that I did reset the deafault to US, and used the Generic Super Multi-Media KB, and everything worked fine!

    Thanks for all the help.
