Incorrect info about keyboard on task bar

[Tony Gamble]

I've had a struggle to get the keyboard on my Sony Vaio to use, and retain, certain characters such as the @ key.

It seems to be because it is a 102 key keyboard and I need English UK rather then English US.

I seem to have got it to work but when I click on the keyboard icon on the taskbar it still shows English US. Does this matter? I'd feel more comfortable if it showed English UK or at least a choice.

Thanks for any help that is coming.

Hello Tony,

clicking my keyboard icon on the panel shows -
English (UK, extended Winkeys) at the top.
English (US) below it.

You can edit the keyboard by right clicking the keyboard icon then selecting Preferences>Input method.
You then select your keyboard by clicking the down arrow to the right end of the button/bar reading 'select an input method'.
You highlight then press the 'Add' button.
The window reading 'input method' is where you need your chosen layout at the top.
My 'input box' read English UK only but it displays English US below this when the panel keyboard icon is right clicked.

Thank you.

That has sorted it.

I have removed the English US for safety.
