Hi

Norwegian Ubuntu 18.04, Lazarus 1.8.4, fpc 3.04, all from Sourceforge deb packages. (Not the Ubuntu version)

After I load Lazarus default key-mapping in the editors option panel, some important key combinations stopped working. In some European keyboards AltGr (right Alt) is used in combination with number keys at top of the keyboard, to create symbols like { [ ] } $ @. Those are important in Pascal. I find no way to unload the key-mapping to reset to the original working situation.

The simple solution that works for me, was to enter my local .lazarus catalog and rename the editoroptions.xml file to something else. Then starting the IDE, and all was back to what is was before. A new editoroptions.xml was created. Doing it this way is probably not a good solution. A better way is to have a reset possibility in the option panel.

Or have I missed something?  :o
