i am sure this must be covered somewhere (I looked, but honestly could not find): is there a simple way to disable CTRL+ALT hotkeys in Windows 7? currently - when i type CTRL+ALT+C it auto-inserts ©, and CTRL+ALT+N does ñ, etc. That conflicts with a range of shortcut keys in RStudio - and hence i was wondering if there is a way to disable these character map shortcut keys?

In your Language Preferences settings within Windows select the "US Keyboard" (not the "US International" Keyboard, and obviously not any national keyboard that uses Ctrl-Alt combinations for accented characters). This will release the Ctrl-Alt shoutcuts for use by RStudio (or anything else). You can have multiple keyboard layouts to switch between, even for a single language.

1I tried those shortcuts, and with nothing running, they do noting in a word processor. So you either have a different keyboard layout or a non-standard application is inserting those characters. In other words those are non-standard shortcuts. – Ramhound – 2015-07-08T18:00:44.293
