ianw1974 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Could have been a key sticking on your keyboard, perhaps the ALT-GR key for extended characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza9814 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) aww man, don't tell me my keyboard is screwy! I paid good money for this keyboard...it's a 1980-something Model M! heh I dunno...I was getting this weird thing popping up (really quite annoying, it was appearing in the middle of my Gaim window) that had something to do with the keyboard settings....I tried to stay away from it, but I mighta hit something accidentally. Stupid KDE....heh Edited July 26, 2006 by Urza9814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Gaim does not utilize the KDE keyboard layouts (it's not a KDE app, after all...)- if you use the KDE keyboard module to switch layouts, then try doing it via the xorg settings- else several apps (e.g. Gaim, OpenOffice) will not comply.

neddie Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I don't use Gaim but OpenOffice pays attention to my kde keyboard layouts. I have two layouts installed, and switch between them either with Ctrl-Shift-K or with the flag thingy in the task bar. OpenOffice (v2.0) plays very nicely with them.
