  1. Keyboard input


    So I accidentally pressed two buttons on my keyboard (pretty sure it was left shift+alt or something similar) and now my shift+2 does not make the @ symbol. It has been switched with the key that creates the " symbol. So now if I press shift+2 it creates @ and if I press shift+' I get @. I really need to switch this back and I cannot work out how. Please someone teach me how to change it back.

    :)
