Viewer Option Problem

The client normally displays little hover-tips when you hold your mouse over a particular function in a script.
Somehow I managed to turn those off.
//setting hover-tips on or off in the tools menu has no effect what so ever// and this is driving me mad. functions I have been using for ages I suddenly have to look up because I can't remember what order the variables go in.
Can someone please tell me how to get the hover tips for the lsl functions back up and running.

and while I am at it.
somewhere there is a shortcut that changes SLs keyboard settings from European to American. this also drives me crazy as I have no idea how to undo it when it happens other than to restart the viewer. if someone can tell me what the shortcut for that is or where in the menus it appears I would also be grateful.
I can't possibly imagine why it's a useful feature to be able to change the keyboard settings for sl alone, I guess a lot of people log in from public computers while away on a different continent

ToolTipDelay is the debug setting for those. They look almost exactly like hover tips but they're done separately. (Hover tips have rounded corners and tool tips have sharp ones, that's the only real UI cue that they are different)

The keyboard mapping problem smells like a platform-specific thing, for example cmd-space can do that on a Mac depending on how it is set up.

Thank you very much.
that was really making things tough for me.

As for the keyboard problem, it only effect second life.
SL will start accepting keyboard input as if I was using an American one, but every other program continues to behave normaly, so in SL when I his shift + 2 I get a @ in SL, while the same in firefox or text pad gives me "
Again, something that makes scripting a real pain in the back side.

If it's a computer setting some where hopefully it will be resolved when I change opperating system, failing that I will have to traul trhough the windows options and see what shortcuts it has set up there

I get the same issue with my SL English keyboard input switching to my French keyboard. Like yourself, it only changes for SL and nowhere else and I have to relog in order to fix it. It seems to happen randomly so I'll be interested to see if anyone has any relevant answers.

you and I aren't the only ones.
I have asked about this before many times and there are always others who have the same problem but never anyone with any answers.
Most people think it is compleatly random, and perhaps you are right, but I am convinced there has to be some unlikely shortcut that isn't well documented that just get hit every once in a while.
