Keyboard Change

[DTCwordfan]

My G-(string) broke, and a clip underneath has gone, so am now sitting here with a new typewriter board.

The shift 2 key is showing "@" now and the sister key shift' is showing "......How do I switch them over.....? I know it's easy but have forgotten, plonker that I am.

Many thanks.

Control panel > regional and language settings, change the keyboard layout to UK English.

(If you can't find it, state what version of windows for more precise instructions)

[DTCwordfan]

Many thanks, Chuck.....I should have remembered that one....

got it in English, the keyboard is probably American as there is no £ sign evident on shift 3 there's the number symbol instead. Anyway of moving an individual key?

Windows 7 here....

[DTCwordfan]

No - can get them to change on fn/shift back and forth but not consistently - it would be nice to change 3 so that £ appears! and @ on 2 and " to the right of L (those two being the US keyboard).

[DTCwordfan]

sorry yes £ does appear on 3 at the moment.

Use of an agent for Asus I guess.....I'll just have to live with it - the keyboard has far more spring to it and I can type at nearly double the pace with my bizarre way of touch typing. I am watching Coast as I type this!

[ChuckFickens]

If you can touch type than just leave it set as a UK keyboard and it should make no difference what the keys are actually labeled.

Depends on time of day, Chuck, and how much that I have had to drink, I guess. I hesitate to say that, as I don't actually put that much away, much to ummmm's interrogation! (lol).
