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.

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.
