Hi,

so in gw2 my keyboard layout changed suddendly and i dont know how it happened.. for example when i want to type ty it comes out as tz where the keys z and y are switched around and when i want to type ^^ it comes out as ยดยด which are symbols that are actually on another key. Also attached is an image of said weird symbol. Please tell me what i have to do to change it back to the way it was ^^ so i can type normally ingame again~

Thanks!

EDIT: i cannot take a screenshot anymore because apparantly this thing that changed also changed the key for taking screenshots.. so i’ll try to describe it; its a capital letter Blue A in front of a white box.

It is unfortunate the search feature is broken. Quite some time ago, someone had a problem somewhat similar to yours, and it was solved by some particular keystrokes which change the key functions. I’m afraid I don’t remember what they are. Maybe someone else will know. I think one of the keys used in question was the Windows key. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Edit: I did a bit of searching, and this might work. If you use a laptop, try holding down the Fn key and pressing Numlock. That is a command for changing your keyboard to Euro or another set, so you might have accidently hit those keys.

If you don’t have a laptop, this page might be useful: http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/computers-beginners/keyboard-some-keys-typing-wrong-symbols-16619.html

Good luck.
