apostrophe, apostrophe where for art thou apostrophe

Ok simple problem, I don't have a working @/' key in ffxi.

I had this problem a while ago, but I can't remember at all how the hell I fixed it. This means though that I can't make corsair macros (corsai's roll) or use the damn usefull @exp.

Has anyone heared of this before? Its been over a year since I fixed this but god knows what I did back then

Re: apostrophe, apostrophe where for art thou apostrophe

Um.. only suggestions I can think of are

1) you have a faulty '@-key ...remove the key, blow, recheck; then if necessary buy a new keyboard.

or

2) the ' and @ are still there somewhere on your keyboard, just not where they 'should' be. I used to use a keyboard which only had @ sneakily accessed with a shifted-2. Have you had a big old key mash in a private chat channel to see if these two elusive symbols are merely hiding away somewhere else?


In any case, good luck.

Re: apostrophe, apostrophe where for art thou apostrophe

Is your keyboard a UK layout, or US? Your keyboard might be trying to change it's layout to US, which could cause problems.

Alternatively, if there any shops around there selling old MS PS/2 keyboards, with a US layout, that might be something to look into. That SHIFT+2 thing definitely suggests a US layout to me.

EDIT: Open FFXIconfig and check your keyboard/gamepad settings
