I am encountering a very weird error recently, that I cannot figure out to solve.  I have an Asus S301L with Ubuntu 12.04 and an Italian keyboard; every time I log in, some key on my keyboard does not work properly:   p produces * 0 produces / - produces +   But also others, for example, it took quite some time for me to just write this message.  The only way to have things again to work properly is to type from a terminal:  setxkbmap it   That command takes a keyboard layout configuration from the folder  /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/   And it starts again to work, just for a (indefinite) duration of time , then, things, again, are wrong.  The output of the locale command is:  LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_TIME=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_NAME=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_ALL=

I want to switch between English and another language.  I have tried Lubuntu and it was easy, I figured it out from the friendly menus. But in Ubuntu everything is so cryptic.

I have 2 languages installed on my computer, both with a single input method.  I have 2 keyboards: CES-CSQ and ENG-US.    However lately (maybe after the last Win10 update) I started to see 2 additional keyboards in my systray  - namely CES-CS and ENG-CSQ.    Is there there a way to remove those 2 input options (CES-CS, ENG-CSQ) which I do not see in the Control panel's Language options?  Solution described at  question does not apply to my problem because I do not see input options that I want remove in Control panel's Language options.

Downloaded and installed macOS Sierra (10.12) on 10/1/16.  Since then, my Caps Lock key is behaving weirdly different (I'm an OS X user since Mavericks).  Note: This only seems to affect users with more than one language as their input source.  Explanation: Caps Lock simply does not work when a (update: Non-Latin language) language other than English (in my case, Hebrew, an RTL language) is set as the input language. When that's the case and Caps Lock is pressed, it simply blinks for a second and then turns off again, but then and turns off. Even when I am able to turn it on, it doesn't have the same effect (all keys behave as if Caps Lock is off)  Why is this bad: Just a small example — take a look at the bottom-right key, which is ? (or / when Caps Lock is on). When Hebrew is selected, it's actually a period (.) and that is normal. Prior to Sierra, I could press the Shift key to get a ? and hold Caps Lock to get /. Right now I can't use  / when I'm typing in a language other than English because Caps Lock doesn't work.   Note that Caps Lock works just as expected when English is set as the input source.

I just wanted to make some input where I press a key and the auto-repeat function engages so I don't have to press the 0 key many times to make a long number.  10000000000000000000000000000  This has always worked without fail in the past, but it's not something I do often and I'm not sure where to look next to figure out what might be preventing this.     I've toggled the sliders to change the delay for key repeat, but the only thing I can hang my hat on is that perhaps Lion disables this with the new feature where you hold down some keys (like the vowels, but also some consonants) to get alternate accented characters.  s turns into ß or ś or š and so on....  Am I missing an obvious setting, or is this something that has moved to a hidden setting or is simply a bug that these controls are still around since key repeat is now deprecated?  Comments welcome if anyone doesn't have an answer, but can provide specifics where this does work for them. I've checked two Macs so I'm guessing it's not related to keyboard type or connection method.

I have been having this problem for quite a while now, and I thought it was a problem with my keyboard, however upon getting a new keyboard today I'm experiencing the same problem.  The zero key on my keyboard doesn't seen to do anything, however when I press shift it does produce a ")." I am not experiencing this problem with the zero key on the keypad, that works fine.  What I have noticed when I press the zero key while I'm typing is that is seems to remove the ClearType or something. Screenshot  )   The Ds are before pressing zero, the Gs are after.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy at this point.  Thanks

I have an UTF-8, polish text in .tex file. When I open it with my LEd (LaTeX editor), it shows ok (all characters can be seen). But when I try to compile it, I get error:  Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined (inputenc) in inputencoding `utf8'.   I have to copy the text, cut it and paste to Notepad++, change (not convert!) encoding from UTF8 to ANSI (the polish characters will be missed and replaces with some random characters). Than copy it again and paste to LEd (in that editor, characters display bad also). But now I can compile my pdf and in it, the encoding is right again.  Is there a way to set encoding in the way I will see characters in LEd propertly and I will be able to compile it and I will get good characters in pdf?

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10, but I think the keyboard shortcut wasn't bound in 12.10, but could be wrong.  It's not in the shortcuts tab of keyboard settings. How can I change the Unicode input from Ctrl+Shift+U to other?

Pretty new to Linux (currently running Xubuntu). I want to be able to press Ctrl and the button where å, ä &amp; ö would be on a Swedish keyboard. I have tried using both xbindkeys together with xte and using xdotool.   I have also tried creating keyboard shortcuts using the built in keyboard utility in Xubuntu, with both the aforementioned methods as well as trying to write my own .sh files to do the job. I have not had any success for hours now.  tl;dr:  I want to produce å using Ctrl+[, ä using Ctrl+' &amp; ö using Ctrl+; whilst typing regularly into anywhere that takes text.

I have Ubuntu installed in my laptop, with Catalan language support and I have properly set up my keyboard to the Spanish layout. However, every time I start Ubuntu, the keyboard language/layout has switched to English (I think) and I have to select the correct disposition again ("Es"). The tray icon, though, always shows "Es" as the input language, which, by the way, is the only option available.   Is there a way to tell Ubuntu to properly configure the keyboard?  Edit: Once I login, I always change the language using the top-left button on the tray (see the "[Es]" icon in the picture below:)

I want to type guillemets (angle quotes, «») in Ubuntu when using   Russian keyboard mapping English keyboard mapping   Is it possible (preferably without typing numeric codes)?  There is a discussion , but it does not mention Linux.

I see an empty drop down box where the language code of the  should be.  To reproduce the bug: Lock screen or log out and log in again.    I also get the same behavior on the lock screen at the time when I try to log in with my password:    After I tried the workaround (below) the language code on the login screen disappeared as soon as I typed the first character of my password.  Workaround (not permanent): Switching with keyboard (Super+space) or mouse.  System info: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, GNOME 3.28.2.    Please  if also affects you.

I installed Ubuntu 14.04, and I'm loving it. However, when playing a game called Garry's Mod I noticed that my CTRL and ALT keys on my wired keyboard were both being detected as Shift. I looked at the keyboard layout chart and confirmed this. I also noticed that my Windows, or Super Key, Right CTRL and Right ALT are all being mapped to Left Shift.  They're all working perfect, they're just being detected wrong. I have selected the United States layout which is what my keyboard is supposed to be and is in Windows. Can anyone help? My keyboard is being detected as a SONiX USB Keyboard (the actual keyboard brand is Avazz).   my xev -event keyboard output is this for every single one:   KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x4a00001,     root 0xdc, subw 0x0, time 2446369, (730,547), root:(795,599),     state 0x1, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,     XLookupString gives 0 bytes:      XFilterEvent returns: False   The only thing that changes is the time. The sudo evtest command shows all the modifier keys as   type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 700e1v type 1 (EV_KEY), code 42 (KEY_LEFTSHIFT), value 0  for lsusb, the driver it's using is the usbhid driver.  lsusb shows something confusing; the same port as my keyboard is being shown in other commands is showing up in lsusb as my wireless mouse's driver, Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver. This may be the problem, but I'm probably simply mistaken in what port it is on. Due to this, I'm not sure what driver is what. I'm going to post all of them, although this might be annoying. I have a separate keyboard plugged in along side my main one to use the CTRL, Super, or ALT by the way, so don't be confused by the Logitech Classic Keyboard Driver.

Because I now and then need to use scandinavian letters despite using US Dvorak as my layout, I would like to use Caps Lock as a compose key. (I don't need Caps Lock at all, I'm not a forum troll)  How would one accomplish this?  Using Linux Mint 17 with xfce, if that makes a difference.  For the record, I am the only user of this PC, and would prefer to have this be the system default, mainly in xorg, but also in tty if that's not too much drudgery.

I run Ubuntu on a DELL XPS 13 notebook that has an US keyboard configured as US international. After upgrading to version 13.10 I can no loger get a cedilla by typing '+C. Instead, I get a "ć".  What should I do to get a "ç"?  I am using Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 64 bit.

The keyboard I am trying to create has a lot of Unicode and looks like this:   Being unsuccessful with the following tutorial:    (There are a few errors in the tutorial, and it uses imprecise language such as "Cutting" things instead of "Deleting" them, and it is formatted strangely)   I was wondering if anybody would be so kind to provide a better tutorial with step by step instructions?
