In Thunderbird £ is displayed as #, " is displayed as @ and @ is displayed as ", so it seems to be using US keyboard mapping. My Windows language preference is UK English. How do I change Thunderbird to use this keyboard mapping?

eg: The combination Windows key+Space bar will change the keyboard language.

The Language in Thunderbird Options Advanced is set to English (United Kingdom). The problem occurs when I am composing an email

Thanks Toad-Hall. Have removed US English as a keyboard language option. I presume that will reappear when Windows next updates but I how to fix now.
