Keyboard problem

[Freddy Van Ingelgom]

Thanks Johnny, I changed keyboard settings by choosing "Belgique autre" and
everything returned back to normal. It was my misuntherstanding of
"eliminate dead keys" which does exactly the opposite of wath I expected!
Thanks also to Goh Lip for this usefull link!
Kind regards,

Freddy
