Saafire Character Info Saafire 80 Blood Elf Warlock maelstrom US PvP Guild: Blt	I lost my / key. Hi Everyone, I have a problem.... I dunno how it happens but lately when i play i often lose my / key, it turns into an e with an accent on the top. Like a french e. and Shift-3 then works as a /. this problem seems to persist until i exit the game and log back on. reloadui does not seems to help. Anyone have an idea as to what it could be? I am running Vista for an OS.

Qudshu Character Info Qudshu 80 Undead Warlock Ragnaros Euro PvP Guild: Dark Omen Talent Spec: 0/13/58	Re: I lost my / key. Can it be you have multiple keyboard layouts installed? I had the same type of "problem" myself, until I found out the default key-combo for switching layouts is CTRL + SHIFT. Try pressing that combo and see what happens... Repeat a few times if you don't know how many layouts you have installed. GL!

GL!

I had the same problem a while ago an this was the solution. Hitting left ctrl+left shift at the same time will switch to the next keyboard profile. As Qudshu mentioned, you may have to hit it a couple times.
