Whenever i press grave (~) or quote characters (" & ') there is an input pause/lag (to call it that) like it is waiting for some other key, and it is going on my nerves that i will explode and smash it with mace from anger. I tried googling but cannot find concrete answer how to setup keyboard layout to be "normal", like when i press some key it should print immediately not making stupid pause, so i posted here in hope someone will help me with this problem.

Today i was typing some code in VS 2010, and after some time i don't know which combination of keys i pressed (i was accidently activated some language shortcut maybie) and now whenever i press '#' it prints pound symbol. Now i have to copy that character from other files so that i can use it.

I have exacly like this keyboard layout and i want it to print the exactly the same characters that are drawn on keys as i press it. Is it possible? Please help.

Thank you for your time.

I know where the options are, but i don't know which "english" to choose for "normal" input, or i must install additional?

Thank you so far.

I have removed all active languages in the list, set "english US" to be default and it appears to work normal so far. Thank you.
