    Keys are typing the wrong characters


    Ive been having an issue in which when I press keys that have two symbols that require shift to type, such as the AT symbol or the brackets, it types a completely different character. For example, pressing shift and 2 produces ", pressing shift and 0 produces = instead of the closing parenthesis. This happens for keys with two characters even when I dont press shift. For example I cant put any apostrophes on any of the previous words because pressing the key produces { instead of the apostrophe. The only keys not affected are the letter keys.

    Where can I get the candidate characters while typing in traditional characters?

    I am trying to type in Traditional Chinese, but the candidate list does not show at all!

    It is impossible to type two keys as you suggested. Is there any way I could type in traditional characters as I do in simplified characters?

    Can you help me solve this problem? Many thanks.
