| 785278 | 2009-06-24 01:41:00 | Hey all, So I have a bit of a problem with using Ctrl + Home or Ctrl + XYZ Basically I frequently use Ctrl + 1 while playing DotA to assign a hotkey, but I cant seem to do that at the moment (Regardless of me using Left Ctrl or Right Ctrl). I then noticed that I cant use Left Ctrl + Home, but I can use Right Ctrl + Home. I cant however use Ctrl (Either) + End, but just "end" on its own works. Ive checked the regional / accessibility settings and all seem fine, nothing out of the ordinary. No additional running apps, I've rebooted, trimmed down extra crap from startup, nothing ... Any ideas why I cant Ctrl + XYZ? Its worth noting that I can still Shift + Home or Shift + End (But that highlights the line, Ctrl + Home takes you to the start of the paragraph). Ctrl + Shift + Home doesnt work either ... Thanks Chill. |

| 785280 | 2009-06-24 06:14:00 | That was what I wondered, but I dont believe so.. Process list attached: Process_list.png (www.imagef1.net.nz) (38 KB) |

| 785281 | 2009-06-24 10:05:00 | Hmm...try safe mode, just to rule out possible programs intefering | Blam (54) | ||
| 785282 | 2009-06-24 11:59:00 | Don't know but someone somewhere recommended "Ethervane ActiveHotkeys" to establish what keys are currently mapped FYI just google and download. | Ofthesea (14129) | ||

| 785284 | 2009-06-24 14:06:00 | You are not running a virtual machine are you because VirtualBox uses the right Ctrl key unless redefined. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 785285 | 2009-06-26 05:00:00 | Yeah I did have VirtualBox (not running), but the problem was the left Ctrl ;) Basically I restarted into Gentoo Linux (Plan is to go anti-windows for a fortnight for a variety of reasons) and I noticed it was *still* happening. Replaced the keyboard with an el-cheapo $7.50 Laser one from PBTech and its all working now :D The keyboards nice, takes a bit of bashing on the keys at times, but its pretty quiet I must admit. The Ctrl key seems a little far away from the "t" for some reason, so opening a new tab feels a little unnatural. I guess after the iPhone, 2x EeePCs and the last keyboard, I'm not used to such large keys :p |
