Hello - my inverted commas key and the "@" key are transposed. I have done the obvious: gone into Regions and Language to check that the settings are not US English (they are English (Ireland)). Having trawled the Internet I cannot find any other solution to the problem. Any help greatly appreciated. Rosie
Do you mean" and @ are swapped? That says to me English (US).
I'm assuming the English (Ireland) is the same as English (UK). Have you tried the UK setting? Is English (Ireland) the only keyboard setting? If you've just changed the setting, did you re-boot afterwards?
UPDATE
Just read this somewhere so cannot validate it.
Holding the "Shift" and "Ctrl" keys at the same time, while keying a quotation mark ("), will cause the @ and the " to reverse with each other. To fix this, just repeat the same button sequence again.
Elmer thank you very much for the reply. Unfortunately, the problem is still there. Yes, I did try with the UK as opposed to the Ireland language option, and I also tried the ctrl/shift possibility, but nothing works.
I'm afraid that's as far as I go with keyboard errors as I've never had to dig deeper than the fixes I've already mentioned.
I did Find "Sharp Keys" over at How-To-Geek which could possibly be a work-around, although personally I hate using work-arounds instead of solving the issue.
OFF TOPIC Around the millenium, I spent the better part of two years working and living on the edge of Cork (Glanmire). Probably the best two years of my life.
