In Thunderbird £ is displayed as #, " is displayed as @ and @ is displayed as ", so it seems to be using US keyboard mapping. My Windows language preference is UK English. How do I change Thunderbird to use this keyboard mapping?

This problem is likely to be your Windows OS. Found this info, so worth reading all comments.


eg: The combination Windows key+Space bar will change the keyboard language.

Thanks Toad-Hall. Have removed US English as a keyboard language option. I presume that will reappear when Windows next updates but I how to fix now.
