Catalina decided to remap my paragraph key to "ö" this week (using a 3rd party Swedish Dvorak layout). Remaking the layout to the proper symbol works for about an hour. It is my Emacs prefix for functions I don't consider important enough to warrant their own direct key bindings. Annoying doesn't cut it. I haven't done a factory reset yet, but I started backups today to be able to. Catalina is a disaster. I got my Mac for free from a relative,but I sure as hell won't buy another.

So: The error seems to be that the keyboard assistant expects qwerty. It must have run some time, and it wanted me to press the button next to the left shift key, which on svdvorak is "ö". I had to delete the library/preferences/com.keyboardsomethingsomething and redo the keyboard identification and press the "<" key (which on svdvorak is about as far away as you can come from the ö key). Now it works.
