Keyboard Shortcuts Hosed


I ran the command in my terminal:

Code:
$setxkbmap dvorak
And everything is fine. But when I go back to the US keyboard by typing:

Code:
$setxkbmap us
I cannot do Alt+left Arrow to go back in Nautilus or in Iceweasel. Alt+home (in Iceweasel) does not work.
Why won't they work anymore? They only work with the dvorak keybindings.

missing something...

I just realized that I have the full installation of gnome on my laptop and I don't have this problem. On my desktop I have only the bare minimum necessary for gnome. I must be missing something...

Solved!

I found this obscure solution on a random website:

System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts tab > Layout Options

Check off
"Right Alt key never choose 3rd level"
uncheck all others
