What do you when your keyboard makes a letter with è instead of quotation mark?

It sounds like you're experiencing a keyboard mapping issue where the key that should produce a quotation mark is instead producing an è (é) character. This is usually caused by a keyboard layout change, either intentional or accidental. Here's how to troubleshoot and fix it:

1. Check Your Keyboard Layout:

* Windows: Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language > Keyboard. Check if the "Keyboard layout" is set to your preferred layout. You might see multiple layouts listed if you've installed other languages.

* Mac: Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources. Make sure your desired keyboard layout is selected.

2. Check Keyboard Shortcuts:

* Windows: Press Alt + Shift or Ctrl + Shift to switch between different keyboard layouts. If you have multiple layouts installed, make sure you're using the one that matches your desired character set.

* Mac: Similar to Windows, you can use Option + Shift to switch between keyboard layouts.

3. Restart Your Computer:

Sometimes a simple restart can resolve temporary software glitches that might be affecting keyboard behavior.

4. Check for Sticky Keys:

* Windows: Press Shift key five times quickly. If Sticky Keys are enabled, you'll see an icon in the system tray. To disable Sticky Keys, press Shift five times again and then go to Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Make the keyboard easier to use.

* Mac: Sticky Keys are not available on macOS.

5. Update Keyboard Drivers:

* Windows: Open Device Manager (search for it in the Start menu), expand "Keyboards," right-click your keyboard, and choose "Update driver."

* Mac: Keyboard drivers are usually managed by macOS itself, so you don't need to update them manually.

6. Use an On-Screen Keyboard:

If the above steps don't work, you can use an on-screen keyboard as a temporary workaround.

* Windows: Search for "On-Screen Keyboard" in the Start menu.

* Mac: Go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard. Enable "Use keyboard shortcuts for accessibility features." Then, press Option + F2 to bring up the on-screen keyboard.

7. External Keyboard:

If the problem persists, consider trying an external keyboard to rule out any issues with your current keyboard.

8. Contact Support:

If the issue persists and none of the above solutions work, contact your computer's manufacturer or the keyboard manufacturer for further assistance.

Let me know if you've tried any of these steps, and I can give you more specific guidance based on your operating system and the results you're getting.
