• Release of VMware (CTL + ALT) key must press twice

  Hello

  I'm the first time using VMWARE + Ubuntu (host) combination. I see the strange problem by posting comments in the comments to the host:

  I use by default, release the keys CTRL + ALT.

  Whenever I am in guest and want to come host (I speak of my input devices) I use CTRL + ALT, but after that my click does not work on all places... .to operate on all the places I need to press the combination again. This means that it is not my default release key CTL + ALT. .it is CTL + ALT (1st time) CTL + ALT (2nd time)...

  I need to press CTRL + ALT twice to make completely free.

  The places where my CTL + ALT (once) works are only Ubuntu launcher and taskbar.

  I tried to google this problem... but I have strength to find the entire discussion on this. That's why I decided to come here. \

  What could be the problem and the solution of it?

  CTRL + ALT is not a good choice for a Linux host - so before fight with this test the combination of keys to use one that is not incompatible with combinations of native Linux.
  Examples CTRL + WIN or SHIFT + WIN

• Smartphone blackBerry Alt key question

  I was already able to type another character by holding down the 'alt' key and press the key with the numbers or symbols, that I wanted to. Recently it has stopped working, and now I have to let go of the 'alt' key before hitting the next button. Does anyone know why it happened or how to change it back? Thank you!

  Have you tried to reset the device by removing the battery for 30 seconds and let it restart?

• No alt key access to menus in the top in mode full screen Ps CS5 Ext?

  I use the trial version of CS5 on a Win7 machine, after using Ps CS3 for a good amount of time.  When you paint in Ps, I almost always mode full screen.  In CS3, you might be full screen mode and press that the alt key and the current letter to a top bar, like F for file or T to filter or W for Window and the menu that appears, and you could hit subsequent letters active to get the associated function.  I used alt + I, then E and H to return the canvas horizontally.  Super fast and awesome!  Now the E was changed to a G, but no matter.  The big problem is in mode full screen, this no longer works!  I just get an error sound when I hit alt and press together. I have to type tab to bring up the menus and palettes until I use the alt + feature letter in the top menu.

  Is this an oversight, or is there functionality to the deactivation of this use of the hotkey mode full screen?

  Any ideas?  If I put this in the forum feature request?

  Thank you!

  Hmmmm...

  NOT in full screen, the people on this forum sometimes complain that the Alt modifier key is activate menus and the following operations for which they use Alt the original (for example, to zoom out) for itchy trigger windows "ding" sound.

  ESPECIALLY full screen that is not the case with CS5 because the Alt key is not simply activate the menus.

  Interesting idea...

  Maybe Adobe does work that way on purpose so that they could say to people complaining about the first question to run Photoshop in mode full-screen.  It's just a guess.

  As a solution to your problem, you could of course expand the Photoshop window to be very close to the size of the screen and just keep running like a window, rather than using the mode full screen at all.  Yes, I know that this is not a solution, but only a possible workaround until such time (if ever) Adobe bypasses to fix the modifier keys to work properly (again).  I chose to use Photoshop it myself and other than wasting a bit of the screen it seems to be a pretty decent workaround for the use of the space F mode.

  Funny, is that it seems that adobe had the modifier keys about works in Photoshop CS4.  I wonder why they changed.

• Print screen doesn't work not with the alt key when I want to make a unique active window screenshot

  I have a pc with 4 monitors. The PC connects to citrix 4 virtual machines, 3 of which are works well and 1 which will allow me only to screen all screens, it's like the alt key does not work on this. Changed the keyboard to 1 that I know works fine, still the same problem persists. Could be a registry key that the virtual machine is missing?

• System standby by pressing the Alt key

  Original title: key Alt = weird sleep problem

  Well, I just built a new system with windows 7 64 bit and am having a problem with my ALT.  Whenever I press the ALT (alone or in combination with another key), the system goes into sleep mode.  The system shuts down as usual, but when the system wakes from sleep there is no video signal from the monitor and it remains empty.  I have to disconnect the system from the wall outlet and wait a few minutes before starting it up normally.  I tried to google some answers and look around here a bit but have not found the answers.  He is a first generation of time for me and it's the only issue.  I hope it's just a simple setting, but I am new to windows 7 and am not able to find a solution.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  Hi Fuzzylunkin,

  1. you are using a laptop or desktop?

  2. who is the manufacturer and what is the model number of the system?

  Step 1:

  If you use a laptop, check if the FN key is enabled. If so, then try totoggle to OFF.

  Step 2:

  If you are using a desktop computer, try to download the latest driver for the keyboard updates and check.

  Check out the link:

  Update drivers: recommended links

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-drivers-recommended-links

  Step 3:

  You can also try to change the keyboard on the screen and check if the problem persists when you use the ALT key.

  Check out the link:

• How to disable the menu popping up when I press the ALT key.

  Is there a way I can disable the menu that appears when I press the ALT key? I use it as a shortcut on teamspeak and it's really annoying to see the menu everytime I press ALT.

  See this article:
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/what-happened-to-the-file-edit-and-view-menus

  If you have the menu bar to show all the time, the Alt will be disabled and hit don't reveal not the menu bar. Use show/hide toolbars for the menu bar always see in Firefox.

• How to disable the left Alt key as the taskbar pop-ups when you try to play the game then press the left Alt key

  Original title: left disabling Alt Taskbar pop-up Menu window

  Hello

  I have problems with the taskbar. Every time I tap my left Alt key twice, then left Alt + (1-6) a context menu appears. It's the same thing as right click a tab on your taskbar for anyone who is struggling to recreate my problem. Right Alt does not cause this problem.

  It is very bad news for me as the focus of changes in context menu of what I do. I play video games in my free time and have game left keybinds for Alt + 1,2 & 3. I will support on these keybinds quickly all while playing. This will cause the context menu for taskbar activate and I'll be tabbed out of my game.

  I searched for weeks trying to solve this problem and I have not found any that is worked. I tried to disable the jump lists. I tried to change the registry for a right click on the taskbar. I saw patches of this forum and several others and nothing I found works.

  Recently, I contacted Microsoft to the it Department by phone and said they knew exactly how to fix this and if I have to pay $50 to one of their technicians have to connect to my computer that they would have this problem corrected in the blink of an eye. I find this limit extortion honestly and I hope someone had this problem and can provide steps on fixing it.

  Thank you

  Thank you for your answer, but the answer you provided is for a question that is different from what I was living. Your link has solved a problem with someone who has the taskbar pop up when their mouse/cursor passes over. My problem was to have a drop down of the taskbar appear whenever I type left Alt + 1/2/3/4 etc.

  However, I have since fixed. If there is anyone else out there with this problem, it's a hardware problem with my keyboard. I couldn't get anyone to recreate my problem by pressing left Alt + 1, etc. (although you can recreate my problem to click with the right button on a program in the task bar), so I reset my left Alt key. After resetting my left Alt key this problem does occur more (yay)

  Thank you

• Alt key decreases the brightness of the screen how to turn it off?

  Hi all

  I own a Lenovo T440S, it works on windows 8. So today, I accidentally spilled tea on the keyboard, but it seems to work very well. He should at least given that this laptop is designed to support it.

  Everything seems to work very well, but my left alt key now decreases the brightness of the screen every time I click on it.

  Can someone tell me how I can stop this? It's so embarrassing to have the brightness down whenever I use it.

  Hi Bianca,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  According to the description of your problem, if this behavior has started to occur after you had spilled tea on the keyboard, then it might be a hardware problem with the specific key. The brightness options are provided with the "fn" in Lenovo thinkpad.

  I suggest you begin the diagnostic system in the Web site of the manufacturer for this model only. and check if it helps.

  ThinkPad T440S Support

  If the problem persists, then I suggest you to contact Lenovo's Thinkpad technical support for assistance.

• In Windows 7, how "to hide the letters highlighted for the keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key" (as in XP)?

  My underlined letters are all the time in menus and dialog boxes, and I want to disable them.

  The first thing I did was go to control panel, accessibility, making the keyboard easy to use, to turn off underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys - but it is already off.

  So how do you disable these underscores in Windows 7?

  Hello Dmbyrnes,

  I understand that you may be eager to hide the menu bar.  Attached, are steps that can be beneficial in addressing you request...

  (1) first Rt click on the bottom of the menu and uncheck lock the toolbars. Then click on organize > layout > menu bar make sure is unaudited.

  From there you should be able to hit the Alt key and the Bar Menu to repopulate.  If you please you would follow with me at your convenience, I would be very happy.

  Thank you
