How can I stop my cursor jumping around while you type

The cursor jumps around while I type.  Sometimes what I just typed disappears.

I'll guess that you are using a laptop with a touchpad? If Yes, go to control panel and see if you can adjust the sensitivity of it, because chances are you're grazing while typing.

I hope this helps.

  • Guard cursor jumping around while I type

    Original title: keyboard

    I type some words and all of a sudden, I noticed that the cursor jumps back and I find myself typing in the middle of my sentence.

    It took me like 5 minutes just for this type. She tends to jump back only (not really before?) and its so annoying.

    Has anyone encountered this situation and what solution did you find?

    Thank you

    Hello.

    Using a laptop?

    In many cases when people feel things like that, it's because they rest their arms on or around the touchpad and touch accidentally while typing. Try typing something and don't forget to keep your arm clear of the touchpad to see if it has an effect any.

  • Cursor jumping around while typing of text.

    Original title: why you (Microsoft) ignore the fact that the cursor jump around for text entry is a global problem that occurs on several platforms and applications?  It is not a problem of mouse and you know it.

    UH well?

    Hi Ony Parsons,

    1. What is the brand and model of your system?

    We met this problem and most of the time that this can happen on laptop and when you increase the sensitivity of the touchpad.

    You can try to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad and see if it helps.

    Some options may vary depending on the touchpad software you are using.

    a. click on "Start" and click on "Control Panel."

    b. double-click "mouse". The "Mouse properties" window opens.

    c. go to the tab "device settings". Click on "settings".

    d. examine the left panel of the 'Properties' window and expand the "sensitivity". Click on "Sensitivity to touch."

    e. reduce tactile sensitivity in moving the slider to the right, to the label of "heavy touch. Experiment with different levels of sensitivity until find you one suited to your needs.

    f. click "OK" to close the "Properties" window Repeat the operation with the control panel "mouse". Your new touchpad sensitivity settings are now saved.

    You can also consult the following article:

    Hope this information is useful.

  • I have problems with the cursor jumping around when I type, especially on facebook.

    When I type, the cursor jumps around. Most of the time he'll be back in the part I typed before. And for some reason, he does it almost everytime I type in the word you. I have run virus scans and she always does. Any suggestions?

    By chance, your computer is a laptop or netbook?
    I found that when typing, my wrist is sometimes contact with the touchpad causing the cursor to jump on.  Something specific on how you type 'you' might make your wrist touch the touchpad.  If this is your case, there is a program called 'touchfreeze' which disables the touchpad while you type.

  • In OS 10.7.5, after resigning during the shutdown, how can I stop 23 Firefox opens automatically when you restart?

    Before I turned off my computer, I stopped all my open applications. This makes startup cleaner. But now, at the start, Firefox 23 automatically... not open Safari, no email, just new Firefox 23. This seems to be the new default. I can't stop this behavior?

    See:

    ' Reopen the windows when you log in.

    • http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#tutorial=startup - Applications open automatically at startup
    • Control-click on the Firefox Dock icon and uncheck 'open the connection '.
    • Click accounts (in the line of the System Preferences window system)
      • Click the login items tab
      • Click on Firefox in the list
      • Click the minus (-) button
  • Cursor moves automatically while you type

    Original title: when typing (particularly e-mail), if I stop typing a few moments my cursor rolls over all email.

    The cursor sometimes jumps to the area of topic, the position of the sender of the previous one, in the middle of a sentence, at the end of the email - you see the idea.  Indeed, the cursor jumped just to the 'previous' word at the end of the word "cursor" at the time I was typing.

     

    Hi mimi,

     

    When you type, the cursor automatically goes to different places.

     

    The question may be due to the corrupted drivers.

     

    1 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    2. What is brand and model computer?

    3. using a laptop or desktop?

    4. using a wireless mouse?

    5. have you ever tried to disconnect and reconnect the mouse?

     

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:

     

    Method 1: update the driver mouse

     

    See the site:

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

     

    Method 2:

     

    If it is a laptop, you can try to decrease the sensitivity of the touch pad, a desk with an optical mouse to try to keep it on a rough surface or try to reduce the sensitivity of the mouse.

     

    Refer to the section to change how the mouse pointer works in the site:

    Change the settings of the mouse

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, let know us and we would be happy to help you.

  • My cursor jumps around while I'm typing and my screen goes black too, how can I fix?

    EU is windows 7 Home premium, no matter what. :(

    I'm writing and MS word is really difficult.

    Hello

    In order to quickly provide a solution, please answer these questions:

    1. is the issue limited while typing with Microsoft Office Word?

    2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    3 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    If you use a laptop, there is a possibility that your palm is touching the touchpad and cursor to jump. You can try to reduce the sensitivity of the Touchpad and see if the problem still occurs.

    a. click on the "Start" icon in the lower left corner of the screen. Select "Control Panel". Then, select "mouse" under 'hardware and sound'. You can also click on the touchpad while the cursor is anywhere on the desktop. In this screen, choose "mouse pointers."

    b. Select the tab 'buttons' at the top of the dialog box that opens. This shows the type of touchpad device installed on your laptop.

    c. set the touchpad for right or left-handed use in this dialog box. You can adjust the speed of the double click of your computer as well. When you have finished making changes, click 'apply'.

    d. choose the tab "device settings" dialog box now. You can see the touchpad for your Vista machine highlighted on the screen. Select "settings".

    e. read the information provided in the following dialog box. It gives you options for your touchpad Cup, using the buttons, scrolling, pointer movement and sensitivity.

    f. make any changes that you want from the various subjects. When you make a change, click 'apply'. When you have completed all your changes, click 'OK'.

    g. don't some works on your computer for a while, if the touchpad is still too sensitive, return to the menu 'mouse' and continue to adjust the settings to what you get them just the way you want.

    If you use the desktop computer with the external mouse, you can change the settings of the mouse and check if it works.

  • My cursor jumps around while I'm typing

    This is probably the third time in two years I tried to get help for this problem.  I am currently using a Dell Inspiron, which has nothing to do with it, but I use Windows 7 probably has a lot to do with it.
    As I type, the cursor flies over everything about the place.  I am a touch typist and don't like to have to watch the screen while typing, but this problem has deteriorated to such a State that I can barely get through two sentences without having to stop and fix something.  This is intolerable and I'm THIS CLOSE to buying a Mac.
    This isn't because of me accidentally brushing my hand on the Tablet, this isn't because of any parameter pointer being on or off, is NOT because of all the other things that were provided as responses during the last months of 2 dozen.  I need a solution to this.  This is a bug of Microsoft.  Someone please admit it, find it and fix it?  Fortunately, I need a new computer.  If I don't get a fix for this, I have not buy another PC.
    While typing this I had to stop three times to close a window of thugs who opens or back up and clear some mess or just to find the elusive slider.  Honestly.  I can't take it anymore.

  • How can I keep text left to right when you type around border of a circle?

    Hello Forum

    I was able to determine how to type text around the outer border of a circle using custom shapes and the path tool.  However, what I need, is for ALL of the text from left to right and right to the top.  I'm trying to type three words: the first word is from 09:00 to 11:00.  The next word is from about 01:00 to 03:00.  The last word would be extended from about 04:00 to 08:00.

    Using the method mentioned above that the text will wrap around the shape of the circle, it turns upside and is now from right to left when he reached the bottom of the form.  I tried different things without success.  I have access to Photoshop CS4, CS6 and CC, so if anyone has any suggestions I'd be happy.

    Thank you

    Daryl

    Only way I so drawn to separate paths and then use the path Selection tool to raise text 04:00 - 08:00, then the path to the scale so that the text looks like it follows the other path.
