Keys to stop functioning (Alt, Shift, space)

On three separate Macs at different places in the past months, this problem continues to arise in Illustrator CS4.

Alt, Shift and space modifier keys stop working. So no proportional don't resize, no navigation of the hand tool with the space bar, no duplication Alt + click, etc. Illustrator reboot only the fixed, and restarting the computer doesn't temporarily, sometimes only for a few minutes.

Other applications ARE affected; When I tried to type in TextEdit, during a recent episode of Pepin, the Alt key would not work here either. However, the problem still seems to be for me when working in Illustrator CS4. Of course, it is not own a computer or even a user's preferences. But the problem has become so bad that recently, he has really hampered my work.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Do you have any processes running in the background who hold an open port on the internet as a VPN, a planner who makes timed data calls or something similar? Mac OS allows you to block the use of the modifier keys when there is a risk that malware can use to make calls System silently in the background. Try to open the activity monitor application and see what is running. Then try to kill the apps and repeat the test.

  • How can disable switch between different input languages (= keyboard languages) by pressing the Alt + Shift keys? __

    Although I can now perform steps

    2. In Control Panel, select regional and Language Options.

    3. In the Regional And Language Options dialog box tab, under Text Services and input languages, click details.

      Thank you in advance.

    Hello
    I found the place where exactly this may be small :).

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Toggle]
    "Hotkey" = "1".
    'Language Hotkey' = '3 '.
    'Shortcut page layout' = '2 '.

    Change the value of "Language Hotkey" accordingly.

    1 sequence of button enabled; Use Left ALT + SHIFT to switch between locales.
    2 key activated sequence; Use CTRL + SHIFT to switch between locales.
    3 invalid key sequences.
    4 If the default locale is Thai, the grave accent key activates / deactivates the input locale. otherwise the keystrokes are disabled.

    Another problem is that it sits under HKCU as well, same as if I pack this setting with MSI, it won't have a any use to me. Since then, installation is done using MSI localadmin account and HKCU is associated with the current session. If a new user who connects to this settting does not apply, and even if it rises "access denied" :(

    Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • Questions Microsoft sculpt an ergonomic keyboard - cannot press Caps Lock shift-space-E at the same time. The E key does not work.

    Hello

    Just like the title says, when I try to press a combination of: caps lock shift + space + E, E key is not broadcast.

    Pressing any other key (Q, W, R, T, Y, U) works very well.

    I noticed this only happens with the space bar on the left side, the right one to work properly.

    Any idea what goes wrong? and why the two spacebars feature is not the same thing?

    Thank you.

  • Ubuntu: Change the keyboard with xmodmap causes closing bracket key to stop working

    I use an Apple keyboard, so I use a xmodmap file customized for change my alt and super keys. When I apply this file using xmodmap, the bracket key closing unresponsive in Firefox, but works fine in all other programs. This means that I can't type a bracket closing or a right brace anywhere in Firefox. in the address bar, the box search, settings, Web sites, etc. It's as if I'm even not press.

    I can 'fix' the key by resetting the xmodmap, with the command: setxkbmap-layout us
    (but then of course the keys alt and super are changed, so I can't actually use the computer like this)

    I apply my file with the command xmodmap: xmodmap ~ /. Xmodmap
    My ~ /. Xmodmap file is pasted below - you can see that I'm not remapping the key closing bracket (i.e. keycode 35, keysym 0x5d, 'bracketright' according to xev). Troubleshooting information has been taken for the duration of my layout xmodmap.

    Please keep in mind: this is only a problem for Firefox. Closing the bracket key works in other programs. So I suspect that it is a bug in Firefox.

  • Satellite C650-17Z - keys FN and Ctrl-Alt-Del does not work

    I recently bought a Satellite C650-17Z and the function key and the Ctrl-Alt-Del key combination ceased to operate. Is there a solution to this all - I got older laptops from Toshiba is a driver issue, but I can't find the drivers for specific keyboard on the Toshiba site.

    Could someone enlighten me, please?

    Hello

    Regards the FN keys will find it many other topics in the forum.
    Did you find them? Is there a solution for you?

    In any case, you must reinstall the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards because both controls the FN keys. You can download all the tools on the official website of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But for the Al-Ctrl-Del combination, there is no special driver but maybe it can be solved with these tools...

  • Portege R500 - ctrl keys have stopped working

    Hello

    Two control keys have stopped working on my laptop. The fact that it is both of them gives to think that there isn't something physically wrong with the key. I can't do a ctrl + letter for example to copy, paste, select all, or again ctrl + alt + delete

    Can anyone suggest how to recover these keys?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    A combination of keys that would disable the CTRL buttons does not for me.
    But I recommend that you check the options of common keyboard as etc., FN + F12 FN + F10, Capslock, FN + F11

    In addition, you could test the laptop with an external USB keyboard.
    If the CTRL works using an external keyboard, this problem would be related to the hardware problem.
