I found the following question on the OpenOffice.org users list interesting. "My keyboard has decided to re-design itself. The 'at' symbol for web addresses/emails has migrated to the upper case of quotation marks, the tilde has been replaced by a ' ¬', I have a UK Pound symbol on uppercase 3 and the double quote as replaced the 'at' symbol on upper case 2. Does anyone out there know what I can do to amend whatever I did before? This answer also includes a link showing different keyboard layouts.
