Unable to use the keyboard shortcuts on Netflix

If I watch something on Netflix, I can't use keyboard shortcuts for Firefox. For example, I can't use ctrl + T/N to open a new tab or window. What is going on?

My guess is:

If you click on all controls in an area of the screen controlled by a plugin (for example, Silverlight or Flash), the plugin will take focus and usually continue to intercept keyboard actions. Usually, clicking on an empty area of the page to return the focus to the browser itself, but sometimes it does not work and you use the mouse to change the tabs and change back to regain control. Or if you use the shortcut to Windows Alt + Tab to switch to another window, then Alt + Tab, return to Netflix, who could also operate (and avoids having to use the mouse).

Is it that help at all?

  • Refresh the view current firefox page by using the keyboard shortcut without concentrating on the firefox window.

    I want to refresh the current page tab that the firefox browser open without focusing on that. For example, I focus on a text editor (creating a server-side code) and I save some changes and trigger my custom shortcut (IE [ctrl + alt + space + a]) key to refresh the firefox browser without concentrating on it.

    You can do that with a keyboard shortcut without opening/development the Firefox window.

  • Unable to use the keyboard and mouse on the installation window.

    I almost installed windows on my hard drive (normally works on the SSD, I need to format).  When I arrive to prepare it for the first time, I can't move my mouse or my tab on the screen to continue.  What should do?

    Is your keyboard/mouse wired or wireless? You may experience the problem with some wireless mice / keyboards. The problem is that the system requires that you press the lock key to activate the keyboard. You can do this until windows has started, but you must use the front keyboard of the shoe has completeded. This is a stupid and impossible.

    The solution is to borrow or buy a cable PS/2 keyboard / mouse and allows to complete the configuration of your computer. If you need to buy, they are relatively expensive. This type of keyboard is used commonly with desktop computers before wireless keyboards became popular.

  • Moving between the keyboard shortcut Documents: Acrobat Pro DC

    Since the update to version 2015.009.20069 of Acrobat Pro DC on Mac Pro (end of 2013), I am unable to use any keyboard shortcut to navigate between open documents. Before the most recent update to Acrobat Pro DC, it was possible to navigate between documents open by using the keyboard shortcut. So, what has changed with the keyboard shortcut?

    Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you want to open several documents (e.g. 3) in acrobat and then switch between them (i.e. the document 1 document 2 and so on).

    Since version 2015.009.20069, several documents are open as tabs instead of Windows of Acrobat.

    You can use Ctrl + Tab to switch to the next tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to switch to the previous tab.

    Thank you

  • I am unable to Type or use the keyboard in Firefox 18.0 anywhere, including the search bar and URL bar. How should I fix this?

    I am unable to type anything or use the keyboard to type in Firefox. I use Firefox 18.0 installed on Windows 7.
    I am able to paste in the URL bar and the search bar, but absolutely not able to type in it.
    I already tried the 'reset' option but are still unable to type.
    Also tried Firefox in safe mode with disabled addons but are still unable to type.
    Install a new copy of firefox after Firefox uninstall and delete the old "Mozilla Firefox" in windows folder. but always impossible to type.
    Please tell me a solution to this.

    Have you tried restarting the computer?

    It is possible that you have activated the keyboard by chance to one who does not work in Firefox.

    Windows remembers the setting by application keyboard layout and you have probably changed the keyboard by accident via a keyboard shortcut.

    • Make sure you have the language bar visible on the Windows taskbar
    • You can do this via the context menu of the taskbar: toolbars > language bar
    • Check the language setting (keyboard) keyboard for the application that has focus via the icon in the language bar
    • You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remember the keyboard by application setting

    Control Panel > regional and Language Options > keyboards and languages > change keyboards > advanced key settings > change key sequence

  • Now, many of my keys are shortcut keys. For example, 'L' now disconnect me and "N" takes me to the computer. I can no longer use the keyboard.

    My big cat crossed my laptop keyboard Dell (with Vista) and now many of my key take me in crazy places. This happens in all programs. I can't use the keyboard to type. Is anyone know how it happened and how to fix it?  Thank you very much

    Hi Ruby94947,

    Things you want to try:

    O examine your keyboard for any accumulation of dust, dirt, liquids or other particles that could be causing the keys to type characters.

    Ø Disengagethe (FN) key on the keyboard, make sure that the led of the button turns off.

    O check if your number lock (NumLock) key is enabled. If so, the key to disengage.

    O confirm that your keyboard is set to the English language.

    1. open regional and Language Options by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking clock, language, and region, and then clicking regional and Language Options.

    2. click on the keyboards and languages tab and then click on change keyboards.

    Make sure that the keyboard is set to the English language.

    If the problem persists, contact DELL for assistance.

  • Play the Spider Solitaire Vista using the keyboard

    Hi, I have recently acquired a new computer with windows vista. Also, my old computer has windows vista.

  • Cannot use my keyboard shortcuts

    Last night, I was playing a game on the internet that required me to use the CTRL space and arrow numerous amounts of times in a row, and now I can't use my keyboard shortcuts like ctrl + c, ctrl + v, or ctrl + alt + delete. I messed around a bit with the sticky keys options and made numerous amounts of different combinations to see if I could solve the problem, but so far, nothing has worked. I'm pretty sure that my problem is not apparent virus, I just want to know what I did to change the settings to its current form and how to get back to his previous 100% form.
