You are lucky, you only have one keyboard to contend with!! I have 2 one on screen and one on my folio, here are some of the suggestions I have noted to try and get the english UK keyboard back, caps lock,shift,control keys all at the same time, then left and right shift with Alt, or left alt , right alt shift, and @ key
or shift control, or fn and f7 or f8
or best of all, take the numbers lock OFF, ps I havnt got one, and mine STILL types yankee
