I tried both methods of generating a list of configuration files, and I worked down both lists looking for anything which seemed fpc/lazarus related, and deleted everything I could find. I then deleted back fpcupdeluxe's target directory, and went through my home directory looking for hidden directories. In short, I deleted every damned thing I could find! I then reinstalled, via fpcupdeluxe, copies of trunk for both fpc and lazarus. According to fpcupdeluxe, everything compiled and built correctly. I ran lazarus via the link provided by fpcupdeluxe, and tried typing some text. NO change whatsoever. :( A lower case 'i' still produced tab and 'i', and a lower case 'm' produced a line feed. At this point, I think I give up. I don't want to switch my main system to LMDE, so I will just run lazarus under LMDE in a virtual machine, where the 'i' and 'm' keys work exactly as expected, and use a shared folder, pointing a logical link to my source tree. I reiterate that I have NEVER (knowingly, I suppose) remapped a keyboard nor used a macro while using lazarus.
