To be honest i don't know where this is the case. The Linux both on my laptop and my desktop both don't behave like this at all. I have not used any Windows for more than 20 years, so i don't know if it is like that in Windows.

You didn't tell us which distribution you use, so here is a link that explains how to configure the keymap in various distributions: Changing The Language & Keyboard Layout On Various Distributions. Notice the warning at the beginning of the document! If you use any desktop system (GNOME, KDE, ....) you should use their respective tools rather than the underlying Linux configuration.

I hope this helps.
