Is there anyone who can help me? Maybe someone from Europe?

Normally when I type my tekst and I type ' + e I get é....but for some reason it doesn't work anymore.

I've tried about everything....help me!
I'm getting nuts :cursing:

Oh...I am on Windows 7.
 
The only explanation I can come up with is that you switched keyboards, with SHIFT+ALT... Happens to me all the time. But I suppose you'd know that. Other than that, no idea.
 
Yeah, tried that and control shift too.
Stupid thing is that Eric thought he did something to the laptop when we bought it, that these kind of things couldn't happen anymore.
Well, Leontine found a way!
 
what are you getting instead? is it possible you changed the language you had set up?

I think CTRL+ALT switches languages in Win7 unless it's set up to something different so it's possible you hit it accidently and took off your language setting
 
Hi girls....

My language is set up the same as on my pc upstairs (where it does work the way I want to)
''e is what I am getting if I tab the ' + e

Alt + Cntr doesn''t work....
 
I don't know the reply, but until you solve it - ALT+0233 is the shortcut for é. Better than nothing. Even though you most probably know that.

Normally you get "´´e" if you press "´" twice, but I have no idea what might cause the key to react to one touch as if they were two.
 
Do we Belgians have another keyboard than in the Netherlands and Luxemburg? Because é is on the same button here as the number 2?

I wouldn't know; I have a Slovak one both at home and at work (since I translate into Slovak, I have a Slovak keyboard). We have é on the same button as 0... I have no idea where it might be on other keyboards. I think it's not on the English one, but I'm sure the French one has it, but me and the French keyboard aren't friends.
 
I didn't realize only the Belgians and French use azerty, lol.
I'm used to it for typing, obvioulsy, but it bothers me that it limitates me in Photoshop! For example the [ and ] keys are made in combination with alt+ctrl, so I can't use those to adjust my brush size in PS. Bothers me to no end!
 
Hehe. AZERTY is usually the synonymum for silent horror for me and my colleagues, too. The Commission is nice enough to give each language department their own keyboards - I don't really mind whatever it's written on the keys as long as the system keyboard is right (we get EN, SK and FR by default), because I type without looking, but when I encounter a system that only has AZERTY (happens rarely) it's driving me mad, since A is in a different place, as is comma and M or N - can't remember. I'm used to QWERTY and QUERTZ, since the only difference for basic alphabet is Y/Z, but AZERTY is a hard nut to crack. Must be exactly the same for you, I guess, when you use those I'm used to. :-)
 
I was going to say: yes it frustrates me when my Photoshop accidently switches to qwerty (by pressing alt+shift) and then a light bulb went on: I can actually switch in intentionally to be able to adjust my brush size with [ and ]! I can't believe I never thought of that before!
Now I just need to find out where [ and ] are on a qwerty, I'll take another look at the links you posted!

QWERTY is English, right? You can see which keyboard you have set, down on in the right of your screen (can't come up with the English name for the little docker line on the bottom of the screen). If you're in Win, that is. No idea with Macs.

Yes I know, but my keyboard doesn't have keys in that location (the location of [ and ] on qwerty) so even if I switch with alt + shift, there's just no equivalent.
