I have a new Raspberry Pi, when I try to type double quotes by using shift and the single quote buttons on the keyboard, I get an @ symbol. When I do shift + 2, I get the double quotes. A few different keys are like this. How do I change this back to normal keyboard orientation?

run sudo raspi-config and setup your Locale and Keyboard. These are located under Internationalisation Options

1Thanks, this worked well.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configurationbrought me directly to the keyboard config. Dec 20, 2013 at 4:03 -
Didn't work for me. I changed the locale from en_GB.UTF-8 to en_US.UTF-8 and reselected the Dell keyboard, but @ and quote are still swapped. Aug 10, 2019 at 5:21
Quote and @ get swapped if you're using a US keyboard with your locale set to UK. To fix: (FIXME why doesn't stackexchange support code in numbered lists?)
ONE. Update raspi-config (I'm not sure if this step is really necessary)
TWO. Enable US locale. raspi-config does not do this (details)
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
update-locale en_US.UTF-8
THREE. Go into raspi-config option 4 (Localization Options) -> Change Keyboard Layout
- select your keyboard
- If "English (US)" is not shown (probably not -- that was the issue) go find it in Other, and select it. This brings you back to the main keyboard layout menu, where now "English (US)" is available.
- Finally, select "English (US)" again in the main keyboard layout menu.
- Select "OK" for the remaining options.
