This means that your keyboard is set to British PC rather than British. Go to the sources of the system/preferences/keyboard and remove PC British, so it cannot become active.
Your keyboard must be indicated in the menu 'flag' in the top right of the screen. You click to select another.

How to use the keyboard in Mac wireless keyboard shortcut?
Hi all experts,
I understand that the following keyboard shortcut works in first Pro CS5:
(1) next page - Goto then point edit
(2) previous page - Goto previous Mount Point
(3) home - CTI at the beginning of the sequence
(4) end - CTI place until the end of the sequence.
The problem is that I use the Mac wireless keyboard that comes with a shorter keyboard.
This keyboard, being a shorter version, didn't press Page Down, Page Up, home and end.
With the help of the arrow up and arrow instead of Page Up and Page down Down does NOT work.
Any ideas, please?
Thanks in advance...
When you hold down the Fn key in the bottom left of any mini keyboard (laptop or wireless) Apple, many options.
Homepage = Fn + left arrow
End = Fn + right arrow
Page Down = Fn + down arrow
Page Up = Fn + arrow upward
FWD Delete = Fn + delete
Row of the top - switch hardware keys to function keys
There might be more, but these are the only ones I know. Apple used to label functions on keys of direction, but for some reason any that they no longer do.

Problems with the keyboard, typing the extra characters
Original title: Getting irritated by symbols
When I type a few symbols, such as the double rating mark("), single quote ('), apostrophe (') or CAP (^), these symbols will appear once I get home the next symbol or letter. For example, if I write 'Hello', first double quote appears after I enter the letter H, and the second citation appears after clicking on the comma. And how it works on all programs, where I can write (notebook, desktop, browsers, etc.). Is it possible to change this strange behavior? I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 and wireless keyboard.

While my magic keyboard works fine load in percentage is not displayed in the keyboard preferences. The percentage of charge is displayed for the mouse and the track pad. Everyone knows about this problem?
Yes, I don't think that the keyboard prefs pane shows the keyboard for some reason load any. If you turn on the Bluetooth icon on your menu bar you can quickly check the State of charge for all your devices BT there without having to open the preferences.

Hello
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
