• Why all my keyboard shortcuts use the 'Alt' key instead of the ' CTRL '? I use Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

  I recently downloaded Firefox 5 and noticed that all my keyboard shortcuts by default using the 'Alt' key instead of the 'Ctrl' key (so, for example, open a new tab is Alt + T instead of Ctrl + T).

  I noticed that this applies even to copy and paste in Firefox (Alt + C and Alt + P is the only commands that work).

  No idea why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

  I had this problem. I found that a roaming profile directory has been installed which contained a user.js file in which changed the hotkey of CTRL ALT.
  I deleted the profile folder a name randomly in c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles and then I stuck to that of c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles.

  This bad user.js file was some other parameters, including the definition of the user agent string
  "Mozilla/5.0 (X 11;" U; Linux i686; en-US; RV:1.0.0; (Salut, maman) gecko/20020604 "

  The user.js file is (or similar to) those listed here: https://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html

  Hello

  Looks like you need a new keyboard.

  You can order all the compatible parts of the ASP from Toshiba in your country.
  Also the keyboard.

  Service technicians could order the part directly from Toshiba.

  Usually, the replacement of keyboard is not very difficult but if you have no experience in these replacements ASP assistance would be required.

• Equium L20-197 - left go 'ALT' key in the file menu bar

  Hi I hope someone can help me with this.

  Recently, I noticed that my laptop started to go to the file menu bar when I press the left alt key (I must say of immediately that the laptop do not before tonight and my laptop GFs - which is the same make & model as mine and has exactly the same set top-do NOT go in the bar file menu when you press the left alt key and as mine comes from) start doing this I guess I managed to activate a setting keyboard shortcut somehow).

  I know that by pressing the default Alt allows the file menu bar in windows, but I would be interested to hear if someone else does NOT have this active keyboard shortcut.

  I used an emulator and mapped the keys ctrl and alt, but I'm not 100% sure what combination of keys I pressed on, the emulator has since been uninstalled and the shortcut is always enabled.

  I was wondering if anyone here has a list of shortcuts keyboard/Fn keys to turn this function on or off or is there already a thread on this? I searched the Forum but have not found anything. Thus, all advice / pointing that I have the right direction on this issue would be much appreciated.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello!

  Normally if you press the left ALT key you always go to the file menu bar. I checked this on my two laptops Toshiba and it s always the same.
  For as far as I know it's not possible to turn off this feature of s and I n t understand why you want to disable. If you n t like it, don t press the ALT key. ;)

  On the Wikipedia site are some interesting information about this key:

• Pavilion 15 ab062nl: HP Pavilion ab062nl 15, SHIFT, CTRL, ALT keys on linux problems

  I have a problem with the keyboard of the laptop HP Pavilion 15 ab062nl.
  the problem is with the keys ALT SHIFT and CTRL on the keyboard.

  for example when I use the shortcut ALT - TAB, after a few seconds, the ALT - TAB menu disappear as if I release the ALT key, but is not so.
  Another example is when I surf the web, when I scroll with the mouse wheel, sometimes the beginning of the page to resize, as if I am pressing CTRL command while marching, or if I write a text, sometimes the borwser launch shortcut, as if I am pressing CTRL while I type text , for exaple so I type letter 'b', open bookmarks...

  Another example is while I'm typing the text, if I press the SHIFT key and that you start to type, started writing letters and after awhile, written in lowercase as I released shift, but I'm always pressing shift.

  for example, if I press SHIFT + s, the result is this:
  SSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
  some letters are capitalized, but others are tiny.

  I have not found a solution.
  the only way to fix it temporarily, makes pressure for a few seconds the shift only, after that, the problem goes away indefinitely, or until the next reboot.

  This problem occurs with all versions of ubuntu (x 86 and x86_64), now I use Ubuntu 15.10, but I also tried 15.04, ubuntu 10.04 ubuntu ubuntu ubuntu 12.04, 14.04.

  In addition, I have this problem too with the other Distributions of GNU/Linux (I tried Fedora, OpenSuse, ArchLinux, Antergos, Debian, SteamOS).
  but is not and the hardware problem, because on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 I don't have these problems.

  I also tried to connect an externa USB keyboard, and if I use external USB keyboard I have no problems.

  In my view, is a compatibility issue with this laptop's built-in keyboard.

  I tried to follow these problems using XEV, and results which is also if I use a cell phone, sometimes XEV reads an ENTRY from one of these 3 keys (SHIFT, CTRL, ALT) and while I'm pressing one of these major 3, XEV see also if I release and immedialty after press.

  This is an example of the input while I touch Left_ALT for awhile

  2. On the file menu, click Options.
  3. Click on keyboard.
  4. The area of current host key , click the key name to select it, and then on the keyboard, press the key you want to use as the key of the host.

  The name of the new host key is displayed in the current host key box.

  Check this link for more information:

• Windows - Alt Key focus bug does not have to access the menus.

  Hello-

  I use Alt - Tab to move through my open applications.  After tabbing through open applications using Alt - Tab, and then selecting an application (such as Excel), the Alt key does not work the first time I click on it.

  For example, I Alt - Tab to Excel, Excel Gets the focus, I type Alt - F to access the file menu.  It does not work.  I find myself with the letter 'F' in the currently selected cell.  Inevitably, this screw my spreadsheet and distracted me from my work.  This was never a problem in Windows XP, in Windows 7.  I find that it is occurring with other applications also.

  I have to press the ALT key twice or press ESC and Alt - F.

  Is there any solution for this?  A patch?  A work around?

  Thank you

  I discovered that the source of this problem (for my computer) is that I was using an Aero theme.  When I switched to Windows Classic theme, the problem disappeared.

  Steps to follow:

  (1) right-clight on your desktop.

  (2) select "Customize".

  (3) select "Windows Classic Theme.

  I found that it was the themes Aero that caused the problem.  So now, Windows 7 is really ugly with the "Windows Classic theme" but I'll take functionality without bugs an interface fairly riddled with bugs anywhere, anytime.

  It works for you?
