I am using an American keyboard set to ´Generic 105-key PC (intl)´.

I probably have set something wrong, some configuration issue, but no luck or insight yet. it´s an ASUS laptop, pretty old: UX330U. I kinda need Umlauts.I expect that you have already explored the keyboard mapping options in Trinity Control Center: TCC / Regional & Accessibility / Keyboard Layout / Xkb Options.
yes, still am.
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.
hard to search with double quotes and single quotes. even if I ctrl+alt+fn1 out to a full screen terminal, I can´t get proper quote-marks, thus cannot write proper command lines.
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.
will search for the proper config files. got another laptop here, may have to switch to it as I´m on the road and lack time also for tinkering.
