For some reason my backslash key has turned into a long dash '─' not the normal dash '-'.
Anyone know what could have done this and how to rectify the situation.
Now I can only insert a backslash by pasting it in from the clipboard - not very convenient...
This what I have in config.sys:
BASEDEV=IBMKBD.SYS
COUNTRY=044,C:\OS2\SYSTEM\COUNTRY.SYS
CODEPAGE=437,850
DEVINFO=KBD,UK166,C:\OS2\KEYBOARD.DCP
SET LANG=en_GB
SET TZ=gmt0bst
SET ULSPATH=C:\LANGUAGE
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\UNICODE.SYS

Is there a possibility that the keyboard table for your keyboard (C:\LANGUAGE\KEYBOARD\UK166.KBL) is damaged or missing?
The other thing is that the physical keyboard may have a problem and is sending the wrong keycode.

You can change your keyboard in a command com
keyb SP for spanish
keyb UK US etc.. see the help for locate your country keyboard.

In case if my program does it, just disable the feature.
I can disable it by default in further versions, if you want.

Hi Sergey,
It probably is Nice Enhancer causing the problem...
I've only just installed it, and it is a nice program although I haven't fully investigated it yet.
I can't identify which notebook setting to change - there are so many of them.
I'm using v570 but haven't found the settings page shown in the image you have displayed.

Hello Sergey,
Could it be that Nice uses the primary codepage to determine the language it installs in? I have 866 as primary and Nice installs in Russian. Is there a way to force installation in English?

Hi John
Is the codepage right for a UK keyboard?
Regards
Pete

Hi Sergey,
When I did a Shutdown of the Nice Enhancer daemon, I got my blackslash back.

The program is just a plug-in for Presentation Manager that uses a little Shared Memory area to track its state and multi-threaded daemon to do the whole work. Source code was in bad condition so it has been re-arranged and partially rewritten in 2006.
To install it in English, just type: "Install.exe english" in FC/2.
To disable backslash substitution, open a settings in "Keyboard >> FireFox keys" and disable "Use '|\' key to type dash and quotes".
I would like to turn it OFF by default in the next version.
