Key "N" working as N+ALT when i have multiple keyboard layouts

I have a weird issue ... I am using an apple aluminium keyboard with un-apple-keyboard, and remapped to act as a regular keyboard. I have used wiki article to achieve this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Apple_Keyboard ...
When I have only default EN keyboard layout installed, everything is fine, but when i add any additional layout (in my case Hungarian or/and Serbian) the key "N" starts to act kinda as ALT key... let me explain. when i press N it acts like i have pressed N and holding ALT... for example if i press n and f after it then i get this in console:
N^[F
this is very frustrating because as i type i often end up in a programs menu {ALT+* combinations} , or with some unwanted chars...
I have tried many combination, but i could not solve the issue, so ANY idea/tip is welcome.
Thanks in advance

Check out the "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/" folder and edit whatever layout you're using (I'm guessing "rs"):
$ ls /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
# nano /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/rs
As you can see, there are more variants in there, so try another variant.
If you have previously edited this file, maybe it will help to find out what package owns that file and reinstall it:
$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/rs
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/rs is owned by xkeyboard-config 2.6-1
# pacman -S xkeyboard-config
Note that the "N" key is awfully close to AltGr (the right-side Alt). Maybe it's a hardware issue? Apple peripherals are overpriced pieces of faeces (mice and headphones mostly. Don't know about the keyboard; I'd much rather buy something else in the same price range).

  • Iphoto began running slow right after the last update. I'm working with raw files. when I have an open moving from photo to photo some times it slows way down, Never did prior to last update. Thanks

    iphoto is running slow at times. This never happened until I installed the the last update. The program gets slow when I have an event open moving with the arrows back and forth.  It doesn't make a difference in full screen or smaller

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import a number of raw image files and test to see if the same problem persists.

  • Where is the Alt+Gr button? (German keyboard layout)

    I have an iBook from the US and use it with German keyboard layout. I miss the Alt+Gr key. For example I need it to type the @ symbol, which I used to get with AltGrq.
    Can anyone please help me how to activate the Alt+Gr key or how to type @, [, ], ~ with the German layout?

    To create an @ in the German layout, press the Option and L keys simultaneously. The [ and ] can be made by pressing Option+5 and Option+6 respectively. To create an ~, hold down Control, Option, and N.

  • I would like to have only 1 Tab close at a time instead of 2 each time when I have multiple links in use.

    I have gone to about:config to browser.tabs.close buttons. They allow digits of 0 thru 3. I have tried all the numbers.
    0 shuts down 3 or more tabs at once, and 1,2, 3 all close two tabs at a time.
    How do I change back to 1 tab being closed at a time?

    hello, the preference you have mentioned doesn't control how many tabs are closed at one time - it should always be only one tab at a time when you click on the close button. if this isn't working as intended, you could try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once. if it is not happening there, maybe an addon is interfering ...

  • What do I do when I have multiple copies of the same album?

    My friend lent me her Viva La Vida album, by Coldplay, for me to put onto my iTunes.
    The thing is, on her iTunes, the album appears only once, but on her iPod, it appears five times. When I put this CD onto my computer, the exact same thing happened. On iTunes, I only have one copy of Viva La Vida, but on my iPod, I have five. How can I change this so that I only have the one?

    Chris CA wrote:
    According to you, ColdPlay (or any artist) needs to only sell one CD and everyone in the world is free to copy it because that single CD was paid for. Not a really good way to make a living, eh?
    That is not at all what I said; you are so missing my point. My point is that the one cd that I borrowed isn't going to change Coldplay's entire earnings, that is just a radically exaggerated analogy.
    So when you finally get a job, work one day a month for no pay.
    Er, **** off. You know nothing about me. I said I was 15, I didn't say I didn't have a job: I do. And if I worked a day for no pay, it's a little different to me not paying the life-changing £3.95. If you think that Coldplay are in desperate need of higher album sales, buy a few of them, listen to them, and calm the **** down.
    So it's okay to steal from people with lots of money, simply because they have lots of money?
    It's not stealing. Music is meant for everyone, it doesn't all have to have a price.
    No. It is simply theft.
    How about the person down the street who doesn't have a computer? According to your thought, it is entirely acceptable for him to to take you computer. After all, he doesn't have enough money to purchase one himself and you/parents do.
    theft
       [theft] Show IPA
    noun
    1.
    the act of stealing; the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods or property of another; larceny.
    Theft is a crime that is punishable. I did not steal anything. The cd was no one elses property in the terms that you talk of. I borrowed the cd from my friend and gave it back, so I didn't steal it from her. So who did I steal it from then?

  • When I have multiple tabs open I have to double click the back button. Is this normal?

    Running Windows XP Professional all latest updates. I can go back to previous page by closing current tab or by clicking twice on the back button. If I have no tabs open I can go back by clicking the back button once.

    Nope, that isn't normal.
    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

  • When i have multiple tabs open, i can only see the tab that i am in, all the other tabs cant be seen at all.

    ''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/916854''
    I only know that there are other tabs open because the + button is halfway across the tab bar. then when I click in what appears to be an empty space with no tab, a tab opens up, and the one that I was working on disappears again.??...
    please help!!
    many thanks

    It could be a Toolbar issue. Could you try resetting and see if it will solve the problem?
    # On the menu bar, click the '''Help''' menu and select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' Firefox will start up with the Firefox Safe Mode dialog.
    # Put a check mark by '''Reset toolbars and controls''' and '''Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults'''.

  • How can I avoid an iPad appears in iTunes when I have multiple users in lion?

    Thank you
    Best regards

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You would only need homesharing on your iPad if you want to use the remote app (which is quite handy actually). To be able to use the iPad with the Apple TV, you use AirPlay, but the iPad won't show up in a list on the Apple TV, you send content from the iPad itself.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How do i keep songs in their albums when they have multiple artists

    I've just bought myself a Classic, but I find that when I'm importing songs from a CD, that songs with multiple artists don't get put in the album, they get put in my library as a separate song. Is there any way to import all the song from a CD onto the album when it hits itunes library.

  • Firefox crashes when I have multiple windows or tabs open

    I am running windows 7 home premium on a HP (HPE-170f ).
    Firefox hangs and then crashes on a regular basis when I multiple tabs and or windows open. When it asks to send a report, it usually tells me that there was an error in submission so the crash reports listed below are far from the only ones.
    When I restart Firefox, my history is lost. I just went through your articles and I changed me startup to: show my windows from last time. Hopefully that will help the history problem but...What about the constant crashes?
    Thanks for the help!

  • Enable Alerts not Active when using have multiple series in chart

    Alerts option is not active when, I am having Multiple series in a Chart.....
    is this common in Xclesius, is there any alternative for should alerts.
    Thanks in Advance

    Multiple series alert functionality is available in SP 4. Use Combination cart for multiple series. You will get that option for sure.
    I am using it.
    My suggestion is, you download SP4 and then continue your development.
    as you said you are using Fix Pack 3.5.

  • Help with 'Album View' when I have multiple artists with Greatest Hits...

    Hi, I just got a new iPod Nano and I've started to import CD's I've had lying around. I came upon this problem when viewing my list in 'Album View', where Guns 'N Roses and Queen each have a 'Greatest Hits' album. iTunes lumps them both together without showing any album artwork.
