Yes and no. Yes, because dpkg-reconfigure did not ask you any questions (and with priority=low it should ask you at least some). No, because debconf was run. Unless you provide an output of 'strace -f dpkg-reconfigure -plow keyboard-configuration' - that will remain a mystery. > Is there a single file tucked away someplace with the keyboard layout? > Using XFCE desktop on Jessie with systemd enabled. /etc/default/keyboard should have it all. Unless, of course, you have: - some 'accessibility options' enabled (meaning - some application 'helpfully' stealing your Shift, Ctrl or Alt keypresses) - overridden keyboard layout switch by means of XFCE (xfce4-xkb-plugin) - binded Ctrl keypresses for some hotkey (gtk-can-change-accels) - using ibus (or some other Input Method™) - used some systemd helper to override /etc/default/keyboard (localectl) Basically, the more software you have installed - the more possibilities you have the things to go haywire. > Here's what happened: > > I was playing warzone2100 and got finger fumbled setting a group of > trucks to group 5, (using ctrl 5). So, long story short - you have misbehaving Ctrl key (possibly others too) in any SDL1 application. Took 5 minutes (and several roundtrips from their git to their wiki) to figure the dependencies of this 'warzone2100', and did I mention how I hate it when upstream tries their best to hide dependencies? Try replacing xfwm4 (aka stock XFCE4 window manager) with something else, say, openbox. See how it goes then.
