I expect that you have already explored the keyboard mapping options in Trinity Control Center: TCC / Regional & Accessibility / Keyboard Layout / Xkb Options. Somewhere buried in your system, there must be a configuration file, a text file, probably ending in -rc, and if so, there is probably also a recent backup of that file, from before mistakes were made, and whoever or whatever messed it up. Maybe it is kept in /opt/trinity/, maybe it is somewhere in /usr/X, maybe it is in /home/~/.trinity, but there ought to be a record of your previous settings.
