Letters are in unexpected places (the F# keys for instance) in the keyboard or do not appear at all.

I'm in ubuntu 11.04 , portuguese keyboards, but english language.

They keyboard works ok in the OS.

Example of key that does not type : "~"

    I think you need to "guess" where the keys are on a US keyboard, for example ~ is on the key to the left of 1.
    This could need fixing at some point, so it's right on the bugs page...

    The key isn't actually in the portuguese keyboard - at all, i've tried all keys, with all modifiers (not the modifiers combinations of course)

    Eventually I recognized the true problem, as it happens with my system as well.
    Attached is a patch that makes the cheat screen use only normal keys.
    the * key is also the key '8' so that should work.
