In regards to my supposed problem with the german keyboard layout.
This was due to wrong information about how the german keyboard officially
works.
My girlfriend (a native german even!) had been using, and told me, the
keyboard combination
Ctrl+Alt+q
would give one the @ symbol.
For some reason this works on windows, which she uses, and so has had no
problems.
But apparently the correct key combination is:
AltGr+q

which is even easier anyway. Only 2 keys to push,and not 3.
As soon as I tried this, I have no problem.
