(SOLVED) Keyboard

During the installation of Zorin I choose US English with the Euro sign on the 5-key. However, possibly I need to switch to US with dead keys because I can't place various accents on characters.

In uppercase the top row of the keys shows the following signs:
~!@#$%^&*()_+
Am I right to choose an other keyboard in the system and how could I do that?

Hi Hennie,

System Settings > Hardware > Keyboard > Text Entry then add or remove what languages you want:

By using the method of trial and error I finally found out that the keyboard choice should be English (US, alternative, international). The other choices in English keyboards ignore either the Euro sign or the dead key used for placing accents on characters. Problem solved. Thanks.
