James and all,
To accommodate different languages (and some languages, including English,
have multiple layouts) and specialized uses, many different keyboard
layouts can be installed on a computer, whether or not the characters are
present on the keys. In most (all?) operating systems, there is also a
shortcut allowing users to quickly switch from one keyboard layout to
another.
For those who always use the same keyboard layout, one option is to switch
the "short cut" keystroke off, or perhaps even uninstall all except the
preferred layout. Search for "keyboard setting" or similar, in the systems
settings of your computer to find out how to turn this feature off or on as
you prefer.
All the best,
Ron
