Arrow keys not scrolling right

Hello. My smooth-scrolling arrow keys are no longer smooth. They jump the page to the bottom or top, but my Page Down and Up are fine. Can you tell me how to change the arrow keys back to what they were? THANKS!! shawn

hey rmurthy, please press f7 in order to switch off caret browsing mode, then the arrow keys should work as known before.

How do i make the arrow scrolling go back to previous versions of firefox (arrow keys are scrolling to much)?

As I tend to use the arrow keys to scroll on my laptop as it is to hard to do it with the mouse. I like to be able to go one line of text at a time. When i updated to Firefox 10 i started to scroll 3 lines at a time. So i was wondering if there was anyway i can change it one line scroll or whether i should roll back a version?

I do not know of a way to do that. You can only set the scroll amount for the mouse wheel via the <b>mousewheel</b> prefs on the about:config page, but you can't do that for the keyboard navigation keys.

Because the operating system does not affect the keyboard in that way . .. If the operating system has issues it would switch keys or assign wrong characters.
I have replaced over 200 keyboards because of such issues

Why am I recently unable to use my mouse to scroll email topics or content? I can only use the up and down arrows keys to scroll.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Command arrow key not working in iCal

Command arrow to navigate between day, week or year now not working. Command T works for example, just not the arrow keys for scrolling through the diary.

Hello Angela. A bit of info often helps. Basic is machine type and OS version. Since you say "now not", presumably it used to, so what have you changed since it last worked? Does it still work in eg TextEdit (start/end of line)?
Are you syncing your calendars with anything?

Using arrow keys to scroll presets and library

Hi
I'm wondering if it's possible to use the arrow keys to scroll up and down folders and presets? I'm starting to get RSI from the mouse. Is there a way?
I can't work out how.
Gus

thanks.. that's really depressing news.. I'm so used to being able to scroll up and down the folders in explorer and Bridge that it makes no sense at all to have to click each folder with the mouse every time. Awful.. Trying going through a long list of presets one by one..
Even in LR you can scroll the images along the bottom with the cursors. Why not the folders or presets?
why did the designers make such a departure knowing that most of their users would be coming from PS/explorer/bridge experience?
It's the same with keystrokes.. what happened to standards of usability and consistency?
is there a good reason for this? I can't see one. Really fed up as I need the cataloguing features LR has but don't see myself enjoying using it at all.

9.0 closes doc when I use arrow keys to scroll

I appreciate any and all help with this. When I use the arrow keys to scroll down (usually on the second time I hit the down arrow it closes) the document it closes abruptly, I got the pdf from IBM
Thanks,
Erik.

yes right 9.1 gives more usability than the 9.0. you can page up and down option too to scroll. Its a benefit to use more advanced technology. enjoy it.

Right arrow & ALT key not working right after clean install of XP Pro

My 3000 N100 stopped booting so I had to reinstall. Had a full license for XP Pro that I wasn't using yet, so decided to do a clean install.
Am still working on getting various things working (e.g., audio), but at the moment the biggest irritations are the following:
1) My right arrow is disabled completely.
2) The ALT+TAB combo doesn't work properly. When I do it in Firefox, for example, it does some sort of scrolling down-screen.
Anyway, to isolate the problem, I tried plugging in a USB keyboard. With that keyboard, everything appeared to work fine.
Now, before you tell me that it's just something under the keyboard (which was replaced shortly before the crash, so I doubt that's the problem) keep in mind that the ALT+TAB *does* do something (and not the simply TAB alone), which leads me to suspect the problem lies in how the ALT key and the right arrow key are mapped.
Any ideas?
Could this be related to a driver that I still need to install? (My device mgr still has a bunch of things with question marks.)
Thank in advance.

Did you look in the list of campatibility problems windows 8 generated to see if the touchscreen is included.
You did not say whether it came with win 8 and it whether it worked before.
I have a b320 and the touch is not compatible with win 8 and it works for general stuff but won't bring the charm list in from the side nor work in the left corners, nor some of the swipe features.
No drivers for the b320 yet. Windows set it up with something that kind of functions.
It did come with Windows 8 installed. It also came with CD containing Win8 Driver Pack v1.0. I installed all of the drivers from this CD.
Where would I find this list of compatibility problems that you refer to?
Thanks!

Wired keyboard-number pad&right arrow keys not working-serial # help!

Hello to whomever reads/replies -
I have a wired keyboard for my iMac(it's not the aluminum imac, but the version before it with the keyboard and mouse that came with it). I got this keyboard June 2007 after the original keyboard sent to me had problems with it with some keys not working properly. And now about a week ago my right arrow key and the zero, decimal point, one, two, three and enter button on the keypad stopped working out of the blue. One night they worked and the next they didn't with nothing being done different, nor was the keyboard stored differently.
I've cleaned the keyboard inside and out twice and tried pushing the little squishy thing under the keys when you pop them off and there's no response with those being pushed either so something's got to be wrong with the keyboard itself.
Also, when I go online to look up the warrenty on this keyboard, #1 i can't find where it tells me where the serial number on the **** WIRED keyboard is, just gives me where i can find it on the WIRELESS keyboards. Ugh. So I looked under my keyboard and punched in the numbers and letters that i found on a little silver plate just below where the wire and USB ports are in the top of the keyboard and I get an 'invalid serial number' error message.
So.. could anyone help me with these problems? I'd really rather not call tech support since it took me over two hours to explain to the man that I spoke with last year about my other keyboard and I just don't have the time! Thanks in advance!
Sharon

Hello sharon:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Run, don't walk to the phone. Call Applecare and indicate you have a warranty problem. The KB is (or will be shortly) out of warranty. It may take you some time, but it may save you some money in the long run.
Incidentally, it appears to me that your KB is, indeed, broken.

Left and right Arrow keys Not working now

My left and right arrow keys are not working properly now.
For example, when typing, left arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the left), and right arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the right). Also, control + left no longer activates spaces, and control + right no longer activates spaces.
Interestingly, in investigating the problem, I noticed that my shortcut keys for activating spaces and for activating expose had been changed (software update?). Before, I had set F5 (without pressing fn) for expose and had set F6 (without pressing fn) for spaces. Now, I noticed spaces was set back to the default of F8 (requiring fn).
The issue persists after shut down, and even when logged on to other users, e.g. Guest.
All other keys seem to be working fine, including the up and down arrows.
It is not hardware because fn + left + right produces the "[" character on the screen.
Any ideas?

You might want to post in the MacBook forums as this seems to be a hardware issue and those gurus hang out there. http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=248

Wired Keyboard: Right Arrow Key Not Working Properly

The right arrow key on my new wired keyboard doesn't work on the first press. After the initial press it works, and if I'm only using the arrow keys themselves it works fine too. But otherwise it takes two presses to move the cursor initially.

I found the problem, at least for my keyboard. Open Keyboard Viewer from the International menu, the one that displays a flag.
Tap the right arrow key lightly. Nothing happens on the viewer. Tap any other key lightly. They display just fine. Now, give the right arrow key a firmer tap. You should see that it registers every time as long as you tap it a little harder than the other keys.
So, at least in my case, it is keyboard specific. That probably explains why some have the problem and other's don't. I will exchange this keyboard for another one until I finally get one that works. Thank God for "Keyboard Viewer" or I never would have nailed this down.
Poor quality control at play here me thinks.

Arrow Keys for scrolling

Up and Down Arrow Keys Not Working

I have had the HP Pavilion g6t-1b00 CTO Notebook PC for a year or two now. I've been having a couple of problems with internet connectivity and putting my computer on "sleep".
However, few days ago, my keyboard randomly started acting weirdly. When I would try to type certain letter/numbers, they would come out differently.
Ex. pressing the space bar would show up " ./M" instead
I tried restarting my computer many times and installed a BiOS update which fixed all of my issues except for my up and down arrow keys. As of now, they have no function; I can't scroll with them and they don't seem to be taking on the role of another key. I have tried using the keys on different programs. Using the touch pad to scroll works but I still can't use the up and down keys.
Is there anyway to get the up and down arrow keys to work again?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello Larasoft,
I understand you’re up and down arrow keys are not functioning, is that accurate? I will do all I can to help you with this issue.
I want you to access the setup menu to test the keys out, see instructions below.
1.       Shut down the computer.
2.       Locate the F10 key across the top.
3.       When you turn the computer back on immediately start tapping the F10 key repeatedly.
4.       If successful you should be on setup utility screen. What’s different about this is you can only use you arrow keys to navigate.
5.       Try working the arrow keys up and down on different menus and see if they work.
6.       Once you tested it press F9 to setup defaults and then press F10 to save and exit.
If I have been helpful or if you’d like to say thanks you can click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it.
Please respond at your earliest convenience with you results.
Thanks
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!

Why is there no support for up and down arrow keys when scrolling through presets in adobe raw

seems like it would be common sense to support such a basic function, especially when having to scroll through about 100+ different presets(VSCO Film). We need support for arrow keys so that it may be easier to compare colors much more quickly. Also the support for comparing 2 of the same images would be even more awesome, RAW image on left, and Presets on the right, or compare different presets to one another.

You can submit it as a feature rquest, then forget about and go back to your life.

Why can't I use the arrow keys to scroll up and down websites anymore?

When I'm on any website and I click anywhere in the website there is a blinking bar - sorry, don't know the technical term - like you would find in any new document waiting for the next character to appear to the left of it. It's almost as if FF - not the super-team - want me to add test to any page I find but it is just a weird mistake.
I assume it's because of this glitch (assuming) that when I go to press the up or down arrow keys it no longer cascades the screen smoothly like a parade of content; instead it just hops from top to middle to bottom and that's when it does anything. What gives?

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> General section -> place Checkmark on '''Use Smooth Scrolling''' -> Remove Checkmark from '''Use AutoScrolling''' -> click OK
Check and tell if its working.
