Modifier (shift, alt) keys not working not

I know that this is a topic that is repeated, but I looked through forums and none of these solutions or suggestions have worked for me:

http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/462464

http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/321191

the SHIFT key (constrain proportions) and the alt key (copy an object) are no longer works. I haven't installed Quicken and do not have a wacom tablet or installed software. I'm not in Entourage or another. I tried to reset the preferences to open Illustrator, but not luck.

Curiously, if I create and open a session as long as user different, everything works well.


Anyone have any suggestions on a fix?

Try to update anything with Microsoft there is another software that conflicts such as Quicken and Entoruage.

I can't think it t the moment. You have plug ins just installed or haxies, apps of small programs that change the systemto customize function.

  • Model of resizing by using shift + alt does not work

    Hi all

    I have training in CS6 Adobe® Illustrator® class in a book and in Chapter 6, it is a sectoion on creating templates.

    I use Illustrator CS6 on Windows 7 64 bit.

    The instructions are:

    Select the Selection tool and, by pressing the keys Shift + Alt (Windows) or the keys shift + Option (Mac OS), do drag the high limit point of the rectangle selected downwards until the width and height are about 30 pt.

    However, no matter what I try I can't achieve this goal.

    When I press SHIFT + alt and head upward point limit, the icon changes to an arrow plus a beautiful place but everything what is the entire model. It does not resize as ssays example.

    Anyone have any ideas why?

    Kind regards

  • Creation of adjustment layer - Alt keys not working CC 2015.5

    When adding an adjustment layer icon in the layers panel using the 'Alt' key closes the choice rather than to name the adjustment layer and add a mask.  I set the preferences automatically create a mask, and let me quote the layer.

    Why the key 'Alt' functioning as is not described?

    What is the solution?

    Hi Fred

    So are the ways that I can get the name box to appear (on CC2015.5):

    All first using menus
    a. click Layer

    b. left click - new adjustment layer

    c. click appropriate adjustment layer type

    d. layer naming dialog appears

    Secondly, using the settings panel

    alt - left click on the settings icon.

    b. layer naming dialog appears

    Third using the icon create new fill or adjustment layer in the layers panel

    a. press the Alt key and keep it is pressed

    b. right click on the "create new fill or adjustment layer icon" and the button right mouse down

    c. move the mouse over the type of adjustment layer in the menu

    d. release the right mouse button

    e. layer naming dialog appears

    f. release the ALT key.

    It would be good that you could try the third

  • Shift + number keys not giving expected symbols

    At first, I thought that my new keyboard was messed up. So, I went to a back brand new to my old. And I still have the same problem. Whwn I hold the SHIFT and the key 2 on my keyboard, it supposed to do the sign right @.

    Is not... instead, he does this '(a parenthesis). Even with Shift and 3 keyboard, it's a slash instead of the usual pound sign.

    However, if I want to do the at sign, I you hold the ALT key and then press 2... See... @

    As for a question mark key... I can't even it works. Something is messed up here and its very annoying. I need my old ways of striking back. Can someone help me thanks in advance.

    * original title - you just bought a brand new HP computer... provided with Windows 7. My Shift key will not work... *.

    Sounds as if you have selected a non-English input language. Control Panel, region and language; also check if your new keyboard has a selection of available language that may need to be changed.

  • Shortcuts of InDesign Alt-PageUp and PageDown-Alt does not

    I noticed in InDesign CS5 Windows 7 64 bit on my desktop and 32-bit machine on my laptop, these shortcuts (to spread next and previous spread) have stoppped working. I know that these shortcuts worked previously, but I can't predict exactly when they stopped working - maybe with one of the recent updates.

    I checked the file Default.indk in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5\Presets\InDesign Shortcut Sets\en_US\ and shortcut definitions are here. For example line 90:

    < shortcut >

    < value action-id = "+ 33 0x1d000" name = "kPreviousSpreadKBSCActionID" > < / action-id >

    < frame > DefaultContext < / context >

    < string > Alt + #Keyboard_Page Up < / string >

    < / shortcut >

    And line 133:

    < shortcut >

    < value action-id = "+ 34 0x1d000" name = "kNextSpreadKBSCActionID" > < / action-id >

    < frame > DefaultContext < / context >

    < string > Alt + Down #Keyboard_Page < / string >

    < / shortcut >

    However, they do not work in the program, yet all other related shortcuts I tried (for example, shift + page down and Shift + Alt + page down) work.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Brad

    I decided to run the PassMark Keytest diagnostic tool to see if Alt + Pg. Prev and Alt + page down actually generate keycodes. They were not! At least, not Keytest could see. That's because another program has intercept keycodes before Keytest diagnosis could see them. And the other program has been...

    SKYPE! Of course, Skype uses Alt-Next Page and previous Page Alt as shortcut keys to hang up / answering a call. When I disabled the shortcut keys in Skype, I'm home my InDesign keyboard shortcuts!

    Sorry for the inconvenience everyone, but the problem is solved.

    See you soon!

  • After the upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.5 shift, Alt and command of my keyboard keys started to act arbitrarily, they are suspended and are not working properly.

    After the upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.5 shift, Alt and command of my keyboard keys started to act arbitrarily, they are suspended and do not work properly (I already tried several keyboards and is not Firefox or Chrome). This behavior is exacerbated in Illustrator CC, but also affect all programs and even my office. It drives me crazy, does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

    Mi IMac is a 27-inch, late 2013, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, and use a Wacom Intuos Pro.

    Could possibly be interfering with the entry Wacom drivers.

    Start safe mode and see if there are still have the problem there. Safe mode is slow and some things do not work, but it prevents some third-party boot loading software. If your keyboard works properly in Mode without fail, this would imply that some third-party software is causing the problem. If so, check the updates.

    It also takes more time to start because the BONE is clean some system caches that can also help.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

  • the SHIFT key will work not for £ sign should use Alt

  • I don't know how i ' v, but I lost the toolbars at the top and bottom. [Alt] will not bring up the toolbar and scroll keys do not work. How can I fix it?

    I managed to hide the toolbars, ALL of them. [Alt] brings to the top of the toolbar so that I can change them. In addition, the [previous page] [next page], [home] and [end] keys do not work.

    You can have:

    1. Choose the Mode "full screen" or
    2. unchecked toolbars

    The F11 key activates / turns off Mode full screen or not. Full screen, you have no toolbars, no tab and no bar Add on (bottom).

    If unchecked you your toolbars (checked = displayed; UN - check = not displayed), and then do one of the following, then click on those you want to check/uncheck:

  • SHIFT keys not working in a t420

    Hello world

    My apologies for the lack of capitalzation.

    Suddenly tonight, turning my caps lock key is kept. I would like to press the button, but it wouldn't turn off. After my laptop computer is shut down and restarted, the SHIFT key now works properly, but none of my shift keys work. everything else seems to work very well. I've not spilled something on the keyboard and nothing happened or changed between when it was working fine before and now. What is important, the two shift keys do not work, instead of one, while the rest keys in the area of the two shift keys seem to work fine, so it seems that the problem is some sort of issue with the shift key...

    Thanks in advance for any help people can offer, I really appreciate it.

    It is possible that the keyboard itself is fine and the motherboard went a bit wonky, but will be difficult to diagnose without a motherboard that is well known or known good keyboard.

    I guess you could lift and remove the shift keys and check that it works mechanically (which is likely). Then I would pull out of the rubber dome (need to identify switches) to check the electrical contacts under him and try to fill it directly.

    Any keyboard off of eBay for X 220, {T, W} {4, 5} {1,2} {0, 0 s} will work.
