If the keyboard is switched to US-English, pressing the " and ' keyboard characters (general 104-key PC keyboard) does not result in inserting any character in a console window or text processor. If these buttons are pressed twice something similar but not exactly " and ' are inserted. This happens only in kde, not in a tty console. Also only one of the users is affected. Which kde setting should I check to reverse this strange keyboard behavior to normal?
I donno about KDE 3.3 on SUSE 9.2 - but on KDE 3.43 and SUSE 10.0 I have KDE Control Center > Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard where I can check this: Is the keyboard variant of the US English keyboard set to "international" ["intl"]? If yes, change it to "basic". Or just use this command at the Alt + F2 (Run Command) dialog: setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -variant basic and see if it works. Shriramana Sharma.
