Hi all. Have a fairly new wireless keyboard for my Mac. recently if I type @ I get " and vice versa. It stopped for a while and then started doing it again. Any ideas????

When that happens, you have the wrong input source/keyboard layout active.


If you want @ on shift 2, you need to have British or US set. if you want " on Shift 2, you probably want British PC set.


You do this in system settings > keyboard > text input > edit > input sources


In older systems, it is system settings > keyboard > input sources


Remove anything on the list you do not want to use, so you just have one.
