    Normally, the F2 key allowed me to enter in a cell in Excel.  The comfort keyboard sculpt received multimedia commands to the F keys, I would like to turn off or reassign so that leaves the F2 key to enter a cell.

  • Lost the partial keyboard function. ??

    I have a 20 inch Mid 2007 iMac heavily upgraded with a SSD 1 G and 6G of SDRAM memory.   When I updated to El Capitan it seems I lost some function on my keyboard.   On my keyboard wired 9, 6 and 3 keys on the right side of digital work not long ago and also my oblique key no longer works.   On my wireless keyboard keys w, e and r no longer work.   No idea why these keys on my keyboard no longer work?   Is it somehow related to the OS update?

    Hello Darlene Baker,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that some keys have stopped working after upgrading to El Capitan. I can see how it would be concerning, in particular, as it happens with two keyboards. I'm happy to help you to get this resolved with you.

    At this point I recommend that you test this problem in safe mode. From your iMac in safe mode lets your computer run some checks and prevent some software loading automatically. The following steps will help to start in safe mode:

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    If the problem does not occur in safe mode, follow the steps described in the section "If a problem does not occur in safe mode" from the link above. If the problem persists in safe mode, it is possible the user settings or files might be the cause. Please use the link below to test in another user:

  • Microsoft Media all-in-One keyboard functionality issues

    * Original title: all-in-one Microsoft Media keyboard problems with Windows 7

    I run a Fujitsu Esprimo E3521 Core 2 Duo 2.93GHz with 2 GB Ram with Windows 7 Ultimate edition. I use the PC as my entertainment system, so I'm under a dual tuner HD (black gold) and a distance from the media library. The system is contained mainly used for the center of the media, but also streaming from Netflix etc.

    I recently bought a multimedia all-in-one of Microsoft keyboard (previously I had been using a keyboard and wireless Microsoft mouse), installed the drivers successfully. However, the keyboard does not work properly. The problem manifests itself in many ways, in media library, I can't select (i.e. the click doesn't sem to function either by using the left click button or clicking with the trackpad) and the window controls appear not (close/minimize/MediaCentre button) when I move the mouse pointer. When I do not press, the keyboard seems to be more reliable when used all first, but then after a few minutes, it no longer responds to click on requests then I need to remove the computer USB dongle and re - insert to get the keyboard to start to answer again.

    I have all the latest drivers, and the system is constantly being updated.

    Any ideas?

  • For the ArcSoft keyboard function keys

    There is no documentation on the function keys on this keyboard for Windows 7.  What does each of the function keys?

    Hello

    By "function keys" do you mean the F1 through F12 keys along the top? Those that are designed to work within each application, with some generally accepted standards. For example, F1 usually means the 'Help' function in applications that support a help function. Similarly, F5 usually means 'Refresh', as it does in Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer.

    But although there are standards, they are not always respected. For example, my file manager 3rd - party (which replaces Windows Explorer) use Ctrl (control) + 'R' to mean 'Refresh '. If the answer to your question boils down to, 'he (usually) depends on the application.

    It is also the answer to the same question when asked for the special function keys along the second row of keys. Last point, you can find what keys do what are the functions in the menu at the top of almost all the applications bar. Where a function button is enabled for a function in the menu bar, that will be visible key in the location hot key along the right edge of a menu. Thus, for example, 'Refresh' is shown in the View Menu of Internet Explorer, opposite the word on the right edge F5 is displayed.

    I would like to know if that answers your question, or ask any more questions if you have.

    Kind regards

  • Microsoft comfort keyboard and the keyboard function keys Tecra A3

    I have a Tecra A3 and that you use with a Microsoft Comfort keyboard. The problem is that since the keyboard drivers have been the function keys (Fn + F2 to change the power mode) installed now realize the funcitons additional IE Fn + F2 also opens the folder my pictures. The strangest on East turn on map of wireless network or off with the switch located on the front of the laptop. This has the effect to load a copy of MS Outlook whenever it is switch extra.
    I have the latest version of Microsoft IntelliType Pro (version 5.20.412.0)

    Any idea on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    Sorry, but you haven't explained do you have this problem now, using laptop or other external keyboard.

    If the problem persists with the help of an external one I think that you can not use combinations of keys FN + FX of Toshiba. Each external keyboard is specific and in my opinion, you should see s operating manuals and check also all additional functions. I'm also sure that you are able to set up some special keys on your own.

    The problem with the WLAN mixer is very strange. Try to delete the specific Microsoft software and check if the feature is as before.

  • Keyboard function keys defined

    Where can I learn what the function keys are set up to do? I want to dedicate a couple of them to be shortcuts to my home page and Outlook. I know how to do this, but I guess some are already for some dedicated functions, and I don't want to interfere with their destination.

    This is a result of research of the shortcuts. Select your operating system and General keyboard shortcuts and select and you will be able to find the F keys.

  • Satellite L850-1V7: MS Word 2013 - keyboard shortcut SHIFT + F3 question

    Hello

    When you use Microsoft Word, a very useful shortcut is SHIFT + F3.
    This allows to change the case on a (current) Word or phrase, it encircles between all CAPS - caps first - without a ceiling.

    On the Toshiba L850 1V7 - 2013 using Word from Microsoft (Windows 8), but this does not work, it is rather as if I was pressing the FN key and adjust the light screen...

    This could be a case of bad keyboard mapping? I have Windows 8 and it is perfectly placed on the (Portugal) Portuguese keyboard layout as it should...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Sergio BR

    > but it does not work, instead it acts as if I was pressing the FN key and adjust the light screen...

    This is because the mode of the function (without pressing Fn first) key has been chosen in the BIOS.

    In case you want to use the function FN key first keys, this mode must be disabled

    BIOS-> Advanced-> system configuration-> the mode of the function key

  • Satellite A300 - how to use wake up on keyboard functionality?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A300-1ME and also a desktop PC intel 4 and I use a KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) to control two computers with one keyboard & mouse. The kvm has PS/2 cables and is connected to the TOSHIBA by a PS/2 to the USB cable from the switch. The connection of the keyboard & mouse to the notebook computer is connected to a USB port. I use vista 32 bit on my laptop and XP on the desktop personal computer.

    Now for my question, how can I use the keyboard to turn on the laptop closed (not the standby mode). I tried to do by choosing the keyboard HWSetup awakening and also, I checked the bios, to the keyboard 'waking up' option and he chose but still it won't start the laptop with the keyboard.

    P.S if there is no way to turn on the laptop keyoard, then perhaps by pressing the dvd - rom. If someone knows how to do made me know

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    Operating instructions, I found the following information:
    + Wake up on keyboard: when this feature is enabled and that the computer is in mode 'sleep', you can activate the computer by pressing any key. It is effective only for the internal keyboard and only when the computer is in "sleep". +

    Does that answer your question? ;)

  • the keyboard functions

    I recently replace my T410 to a T450. I have a heavy use of the key between right Alt and Ctrl on the keyboard T410. However, the new portable T450 doesn't have this key. He has been replaced by a print can I know if there is a way for me to have an original the T410 key shortcut, I need to use frequently?

    Ah yes! The keyboard can be faster and easier to use than the mouse in certain circumstances. Your ideal solution would be to map the right button of the mouse on the key PrSc. This can be done in two ways:

    (1) edit the Windows registry directly

    (2) to do the job more simply install one of many small programs on the net

    Meanwhile, you can get the function key 'Application' by pressing the 'Shift' key, then press the "F10" key (make sure that the locking function is activated). Of couse, it is not as easy as just by pressing the 'Application' on your original T410.

    In addition, you can download the T450 from here user guide: https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/t450_ug_en.pdf
