    keyboard letters sometimes change


    The last few months it occurred a few times that suddenly some keyboard letters or numbers changed. After a restart everything was back to normal. Not really a big problem, but I am wondering what could be a possible cause.

    Keyboard all messed up

    Whenever I type L, 9, ., etc. it changes to a command, sometimes even disabling the touchpad. But when I type the same letters with an external keyboard it is completely fine. Please help!

    Do you have more than one language/keyboard layout installed?

    My guess is it's switching keyboard layouts on you. On my Raspberry Pi, the default for Raspbian is English UK. Some of my keys are swapped as a result. My keyboard is English US. Once I switch it to English US all is normal again.
