weird font behavior and numpad died

I was doing my usual lean on the keyboard, trying to do something like
typing up a storm and my fingers must have got all excited with whatever
garble I was typing at the moment and slipped and this system popup
announced that I must be impaired somehow ( even the machine knows!) 

It kept on announcing that, I´d try to ignore it and send it away, now I
have to hit the apostrophe key twice to get one, if I don´t I get
umlauts like é and the numpad doesn´t respond. 

This is making me crazy, I´ve reset the language to English and keyboard
to generic, and yet this continues. There must be some obscure file
someplace that says I am handicapped, or morally bankrupt, and type with
chopsticks or something. I forget the name of the popup, but I would
like to get rid of it and itś little dog. 

It complained of my key-press combinations. Well, it´s my damn keyboard
and I think it would be better if the system ignores how I abuse it,
since I never learned to type. <cackles> Ric
