Guild Wars 2

I have no idea where to put this as it is a mix between a bug and a suggestion.

There is a difference between the two, the most notable one is the shift + 2 for UK keyboard PC owners (not mac) it is the quote " and not @.

This is quite annoying when I’m typing in game and this happens.

Would it be possible to add a check box or a drop down menu in the menu near the language to select UK or US keyboard layout this could be further enhanced by placing other keyboard layouts here?

I don’t know if it’s anything to help your problem but doesn’t GW2 ( Like most other games ) run on the Windows settings. So surely setting it in Windows would help your situation ?

I have my PC set up correctly, as I am certified in doing so
I have no idea as to why it is like this, using the forums i can use my UK layout, but in game i can not.

Additionally, I have a european version of the game which i downloaded from ArenaNet and am on a EU server (whiteside ridge)

Open the Windows control panel and search for “Region and Language”. Make sure you have everything set to “UK”. Also, make sure that under the “Text Services and Input Languages” you only have the UK keyboard selected as default (remove the US keyboard from there).

I am a microsoft certified engineer, i know how to configure windows :P
yesterday i could type with shift + 2 being " but now its @ …. just annoying as hell

That means you confirmed you hadn’t the US keyboard layout selected there?

Do you also have that bug when using a software keyboard?

I installed the system, the US keyboard layout wasn’t installed
and no i do not have the software keyboard bug

Does pressing Ctrl+Shift or (Left) Alt+Shift fixes it?

Well you learn something new every day.
Yes it does, thank you.
Thats an interesting shortcut lol
Disabled it now.
It would seem that you do not need the US keyboard layout installed to take advantage of this feature.

Its actually a shortcut for the Language Bar to scroll through installed keyboard layouts. If you didn’t disable it specifically, the US keyboard layout always comes pre-installed along your chosen keyboard layout. You have to actually remove it from the “Text Services and Input Languages” (Control Panel —> Change keyboards or other input methods —> General tab —> Installed services). After you remove it, the shortcut will no longer work.

There was only the uk version in there :S
Removed the key keybindings as i can see myself getting annoyed with it. Lol
