; key does not work in foreign language keyboard layouts

Hello

I have been using international keyboards such as the provisions of German, Spanish and Portuguese keyboard for many years.  I have implemented mappings to switch between languages and you can quickly type in the language that I need.

However, yesterday and today, all of a sudden; key stopped working on my international keyboards.  In English, I can type; as many times as I want.  But when I switch to German, the key o (English; key) does not work.  Spanish N does not work.  This is - when I hold it down, I can make it work:

NNNNNNN and it spits out a long line of characters, and I can remove backwards to get only one of them.

How boring!  I can't find any other articles on this topic.

Thank you!

Thanks Frederik,

I took a look at this thread and realized that my user profile is damaged.  I created a new Windows user and tried to use the German keyboard here and it worked fine.

Too bad, I really don't want to mess with my files.  Maybe, I'll just buy an external hard drive, so such things don't affect me as well.

Thank you!

  • The internal keyboard BACKSPACE key does not work

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite and the BACKSPACE key does not work.

    He will start work the rare opportunity, but then it just stops working again.
    This happens on everything, including word and internet ect.

    It has been like that for a few weeks now and I turned the laptop and turn off many times.
    Is there a way to fix it myself or I send for repair?

    Please, * don't * tell me:
    Get an external keyboard
    Try it turn on and off
    Just highlight the words and use the delete key - it's annoying to have to do this all the time
    Type carefully and do not make so many mistakes

    Thank you!

    > Please, don't tell me not to:
    > Get an external keyboard

    And why shouldn't t someone recommends you to check the functionality using the external keyboard?

    It s recommended to connect an external keyboard to verify how the BACKSPACE key would work using 2nd external keyboard. In case the back might work properly using USB keyboard, the question is very clear; in such cases its main shortcomings. The key cannot be replaced or changed or fixed. In this case, need to replace the entire keyboard!

    In case the BACKSPACE key does not even using the external keyboard, then this would mean that the internal keyboard controller is faulty and in this case only the replacement motherboard would be useful.

    But to be honest, I think that its simple keyboard failure and a replacement would solve this.

  • How can I set at the point when the [key does not work because I have a German keyboard?

    Hi, I'm new to CS6 and worked through the book of Adobe After Effects. Some of the shortcuts do not work for me, probably because I use a German keyboard. In Chapter 11, I have problems because I need to select a layer, go to a specific time and then set to the point, but the [key does not work. Does anyone know a German equivalent or another way to set the point to? Otherwise, if I look at the colored bar in the timeline representing the layer that I want to put a point, can I get the same effect by dragging the edge of the colored bar until I reached the time limit? Or that fails to preserve the relationship of all images existing keys, etc. that I have implemented for a layer in a way that the [key would be? Grateful for any advice.

  • My shift key does not work on my MacBook Pro

    My shift key does not work on my MacBook Pro. Can I use capital letters but only if I click on change and it's annoying. When I click on the passage icon shift comes at the top right of my screen to show its on but when I click on the lock button nothing happens as it used to glow green when I clicked it. Before someone says go to the system preferences and go to the modifier keys and restore them or make sure caps lock shift is on lock shift, I've tried that already, I looked it upward and found nothing similar. Help ASAP would be appreciated because it is really annoying

    Hello Gracepullan1,

    I understand that shift key of your MacBook Pro does not respond as before. Fortunately the steps below can help to restore the functionality of the SHIFT key on your Mac.

    1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. On the view menu, choose the speech.
    3. Click on the text to Speech tab.
    4. If "Text Speak selected when you press the button" is enabled, the key or combination of keys set to read the text cannot be used for other purposes, or used for typing text - click on set the key and replace it with a less commonly used key combination (try using the modifier such as SHIFT keys, command) Option and control). Or disable the option "Read the selected text when the key is pressed".
    5. Click the accessibility pane or universal access in system preferences, and then click the keyboard tab.
    6. Make sure the slow keys is off. With slow keys on, you must press a key for a longer period of time so he can be recognized.
    7. In the accessibility pane or universal access, click the mouse and make sure mouse keys is turned off. With the active mouse buttons, you cannot use the numeric keypad to enter numbers - instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to activate the MouseKeys to five presses down option, you can disable this option to avoid accidentally activate it.) If the mouse keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard without the numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Impossible to type while mouse keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    8. If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard do not work as expected, see Mac OS x: how to change the behavior of the function keys.
    9. If the problem persists, use the keyboard Viewer to help isolate the problem:
      1. Click the component language & text (Mac OS X v10.6) or international (Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier) in system preferences.
      2. Click on the tab Input Sources (or tab Menu entry under Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier version).
      3. Click on the keyboard and the characters 'On' box Viewer checkbox to select (click on the viewer of keyboard "On" checkbox under Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
      4. In the entry menu (flag), choose Show Keyboard Viewer.

  • If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application) and try to type something using the keys that failed before to see if they highlight in the keyboard Viewer.
  • Start up from the Mac OS X installation disc, choose Terminal from the utilities menu and test buttons that did not previously.  If the keys work while started from the install disc, the keyboard works correctly.  How to solve a problem of software allows to isolate the software problem that may be causing the keys to not answer.

  • Satellite C660 - the SHIFT key does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem with a Satellite C660.
    The keyboard, I cannot use the SHIFT key. After you have installed windows everything worked properly, the problem recurs after a few days. Practically the SHIFT key does not work.
    On the one hand I'm the A and the other side works like ESC.

    Help me I'm crazy.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    To me that sounds more like a keyboard failure, I can't imagine that it could be linked to the question of the windows operating system do you have tested an external USB keyboard.

    Please test this. In this case, you can check if it s really a software problem.
    If the USB keyboard works correctly, it means that your internal keyboard is malfunctioning.

  • Satelite P50-A-14F - Caps Lock key does not work

    Hi all

    My CAPS LOCK key does not work on my laptop series satellite P50-A-14F. Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden. Nothing has been spilled on it. Here's what I've checked so far:

    -green light indicating that CAPS is LOCKED turn everything on by pressing the key on the keyboard of the screen
    -Keyboard backlight does not start when I press the button, but it works for the key itself when you press a button any.
    -try a clean boot but no results.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello

    > Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden.

    Have you tested the button LOCKING of upper CASE using different software: Web browser, by word or any other editor?
    How about using the external keyboard?

    From my point of view, there are two possible malfunctions: either there is a problem with the software that you use or the internal keyboard works badly simply and in this case, the replacement of keyboard will solve the problem.

    You could test the external USB keyboard. In case the button LOCKING of UPPER USB external keyboard functions, then the internal keyboard needs to be replaced for sure.

  • CTRL key does not work as expected

    Original title: keyboard Help!
     
    There is a recurring issue going on with my keyboard or very probably my pc...
    Well first to start with - I use a software type "ventrilo" called "mumble" that uses the 'CTRL' key as a key to talk with others in the same precedente.* *-could be a reason
    My CTRL key seems really screw randomly until that moment, it turn on sticky keys [where ctrl has practically been pressed permanently] even if it is not enabled on the settings... which makes it really difficult to browse web site or use games because I'm unable to type.
    Even if I try to disable it by using the two keys ctrl - it does not turn off...
    When I try to copy and paste using my CTRL key left it appears just under the letter c or v when I'm trying to do, but when I do it with my right ctrl - it is successful...
    * steam question *.
    I use also a program called "steam" that allows me to talk with others and play some games - but the sticky keys seem to be really stuck on this issue, I am unable to do anything...
    Whenever I press 'a' after that it is already used once - it will remove 2 characters: example: I type AGT-> and I press 'a' once more-> deletions G and T
    or whenever I have press BACKSPACE at all during a conversation of steam, it deletes everything.
    Urgent W on it also a tab or an im window closed on...
    pressing V will paste what I had copied at all, and finally pressing z would substitute a letter - for example: za-> type z once more-> towers to zz
    I hope you understand what I'm talking... help? Thank you...

    Hello Kent,

    Let us make sure that this isn't a keyboard problem. Connect a different keyboard to see if the CTRL key is working.  If it works fine, then it is a problem of faulty device. You may need to replace the driver.

    If this does not work on the new keyboard, then it must be a setting in the software that you have installed that is causing this problem.

    As a work around, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard and check if this solves this problem.

    1. type of Device Manager in the Start Search box and press on enter.

    2. browse the keyboard.

    3. right click on the mentioned keyboard driver and select Uninstall.

    4. once the driver is uninstalled, restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

    Note: Windows will automatically detect the keyboard and install the necessary driver via Windows updates.

    See 't-working-properly#update-driver-hardware-isn't-working-properly=windows-7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/update-driver-hardware-isn

    If the keyboard print incorrect characters, then try the steps mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258826

  • HP Pavilion dv7 keys does not work

    Since I've upgraded to Windows 7 Pro on my HP Pavilion (dv7 - 1223ca), several keys on my keyboard have not been working properly. I've upgraded and downgraded my computer several times, and this has not happened before. When I press the G, H, BACKSPACE or the apostrophe key, they will not work unless I press one of them around thirty or forty times. As soon as I get one of them working, they begin to work properly for about five minutes, and then it goes back to the break.

    It is a major problem that I use my laptop for work. I tried to reinstall the drivers for the keyboard, but this did not help. Someone at - it ideas?

    Also, two of the keys on my keyboard (alt and del) went out completely and don't come back. Is there a chance HP would be able to replace these?

    On the key that came to the wide, you will need to replace the entire keyboard, i.e. If you are unable to insert this back...

    Keys does not, this looks like a keyboard problem, but we can check in the BIOS as well. In the BIOS, go to security, select Admin password and press on enter, now try and test the keys here, if it doesn't there as we have confirmed the problem keyboard...
