hard to search with double quotes and single quotes. even if I ctrl+alt+fn1 out to a full screen terminal, I can´t get proper quote-marks, thus cannot write proper command lines.
Find whatever symbol/character you need somewhere else -- KCharSelect, web page, email, text file, etc. Then copy/paste where you need it. A bit cumbersome, but gets the job done in a pinch.
indeed. umlauts, ok, you use double vowels so umlaut ´a´ becomes ´ae´. got that stoopid single quote for writing prose. alright, copy and paste double-quotes. life, and writing, goes on.
I would hate to reinstall though I should upgrade to Bullseye. want something more targeted.
you have a problem with keyboard layout and chars from a couple of languages but you don´t want to reinstall the whole chimichanga - what subsystem(s) would you reinstall?
a couple of deft ´apt installs´ would get me back in shape.
maybe best to upgrade now. maybe that´ s what the daemons of the binary world are telling me. has to wait a bit though.
I wish I knew what happened. haven´t done my keyboard lock research yet as advised by Michael. I´ll copy and paste to search on the commandline for files ending in ´.rc´. distracted by other things at the moment.
