Problem: Quote keys are `dead' (; see "Solution" below.)
Using Cygwin, my keyboard keys for quotes don't produce anything: it
concerns the key
normal: ' shift: "
and
normal: ` shift: ~
Also the key to produce ^ doesn't work:
normal: 6 shift: nothing
The command "uname" produces "CYWGIN_98-4.10" .
I'm running Windows98 version 4.10.1998 (Dutch version).
The hardware is a Compaq Presario 1260 notebook; it's keyboard has
88
keys, and has a NumLock mode in which 15 of its keys function as
numeric
keypad.
Windows 98 configuration shows the keyboard language to be set to
"English,
United States" . I've also tried "Dutch", but then lots of keys
produced
wrong characters.
The only line in config.sys and autoexec.bat, related to country
specific
settings, is:
Country=031,850,c:\windows\COMMAND\country.sys
Solution:
Changing the keyboard layout from "United States (International)" to
"United States 101" , solves the problem.
