Hi Gianliuca,

What's your keyboard settings in TDE?

Trinity Control Center ->  Regional & accessibility -> Keyboard Layout

There, tick the "Enable Keyboard Layouts" and add your perfered keyboard to 
the list.

I use the swiss keyboard with swiss french layout, that does everything you 
want based on a QWERTZ layout, there is an italian keyboard too, and many 
others. And you can have more than one keyboard layout and switch from 
kicker.

I hope this helps.

Thierry
