I have an American/English/regular ol Keyboard,actually its an internet keyboard...but thats besides the point.

Never quite got the internet buttons working,got tutorials, just never did it...anywhoo?

My keyboard always worked correctly before (uhh I think lol)
but when I tried to send out an email a few minutes ago...I found out that my keys arent right.

How do I remap my Keyboard, I did search (figured this might be common) but didnt find nuttin, found alot of keyboard questions, but none dealing with remapping.

some of my keys are reversed, like " and @
but some I just dunno like £ is shift + 3

I know its just a matter of switching languages or sumpin, but what do I do?

Your keyboard is mapped as British (since ShALLaX is from Great Britain). Just change it back to US-English 101. If you use KDE, there is something in the control center, or whatever it is called.

but if I use XFCE?
cause I do.
Didnt care for KDE as much. (at all)
anyone know a fix for this?
I'll try google for XFCE keyboard mapping or something I guess, till Sir Shallax,gets bored one day and sees my thread

look in your xf86config file and look for input devices and change the keyboard type.
Or better still buy a UK keyboard then you can type £
