Arrow keys work too fast on Polygon tool

My keyboard arrow keys change the amount of points/sides on the polygon tool too fast for me to control, and not one step at a time! How do I change this?

Illy is getting too highstrung. Give her a cold turkey instead of whatever she is on. If necessary, you may get her unstrung if you Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift while you wake her or Move the folder while she sleeps.
If that does not help, find out whether the arrow keys behave normally in other applications.

Keys Repeating Too Fast

Can someone help me figure out how to stop the keys from repeating so fast on my Macbook Pro?
Recently I tried to change the key repeat rate in the keyboard preferences, but the keys began repeating so fast that a single tap produced 4 or more letters. I went back into the preferences to move the sliders back to their default positions, but moving them produced no change, and the keys keep repeating way too fast. Whenever I return to the keyboard preference pane, both of the sliders – "key repeat rate" and "delay until repeat" - are pushed to the far left and do not appear to function when moved.
Other user accounts are not affected by the key repeat problem if I log into them before logging into the affected account. Plus, I can recreate the problem in a new account simply by moving the key repeat slider in the keyboard preferences.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
Macbook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I found a fix for the problem by using Tinker Tool to show my hidden files. I then changed the settings in my keyboard preference pane, and ran a search for recently modified items. The search showed a hidden preference file, which I moved to a different folder in case I needed it later.
I then restarted the MacBook Pro and the preference file was replaced with the default settings. The keys now type at a normal rate, but I can still recreate the problem by simply adjusting the key repeat slider, so I just won't touch it until I find a permanent fix.
I then trashed the preference file that I moved since the keys typed correctly.
By the way, I tested this on a new user account before I trashed any essential files in my main user account.

Why doesn't my arrow keys work?

I can not use my arrow keys. When I got into my messages and try to use the arrow keys it brings me back to the main screen.

I filmed a golf swing with my Casio Exilim at 450 fps and transferred the video to my computer. I opened them in QuickTime and encountered the issue. On my old iMac, I could advance the film frame by frame using the arrow keys but on my laptop it won't.
Not familiar with all of the cameras in this line and, as you didn't give a model number, there is no way to look up additional information. However, assuming the "new" platform is running the QT X player (i.e., you still have not indicated which app you are trying to view the file in), and your "old" system may have had the QT 7 Player installed, then you could try simply installing the QT 7 Player v7.6.6 or MPEG Streamclip as previously indicated. If the problem is merely due to the excessively high frame rate (I.e., if your camera does not shoot "muxed" MPEG-2 video) then these QT 7 based apps should work the same as they did on your older system assuming the new system is properly configured with the correct codec components. (I.e., many Casio cameras use compression formats in the AVI file container which may require the Perian codec package also be installed for proper playback.)

How do I get my down arrow to work again? All other arrow keys work fine.

My 'down' arrow key hasn't worked for some time. Is there an easy fix for this?

Hi, missed this I guess.
If it's the key on the board gone, might use Spark to set another key for it for a test, heck, maybe even try the down arrow key...

Why do arrow keys quit working during a reading session

I've noticed many times while reading that when I first open a book I can use arrow keys to scroll and turn pages. But after while that quits working and I have to use the readers paging and scrolling tools. Which is much more difficult to me since you have to focus on finding them. Whereas with the arrow keys my hands just know here they are.
I haven't yet discovered what causes the arrow keys to quit working, but once they have the only way I've found to get them woking again is to completely close the book and reopen it.

I have noticed this also. I am using OS X 10.6.1 and Digital Editions 1.7.1.1085.
I have tried many things to get the arrow keys working, on the assumption that I had done something to deactivate them. Now, however, I suspect this is a bug.

Problem with arrow keys in some tools

So, as most of you know, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to change the corner radius of some tools, to add or remove segments of the spiral shape etc. One tap should adjust your tool settings in fine increments. But in my case when i tap on the arrow key it makes huge changes. The same thing is with the "C", "X", "F", "V". So i can't use these tools properly. Does someone know how to deal with this issue? Thanks in advance!

Yes, i'm using latest Wacom Bamboo Fun.
I just tried to use my MacBook's touchpad instead of tablet and arrow keys work fine. That confirms the Wacom Tablet bug. It's kinda strange that there's no discussions anywhere on this topic. Hope there will be a solution soon. So now i'll have to use touchpad when i work in Illustrator. Thank you for your answer, it helped.

Arrow Keys Won't Work on Many Websites

On many game sites, the arrow keys won't work at all, so I'm not able to play. The hardware is fine, they work fine in email and Word, just not on the game sites. Do I have a setting wrong? I've checked everything (I think....)
Thanks!!!

The arrow keys are working for me in the game on http://www.ezone.com/games/jazzy/gamecode.htm. The arrow keys work slugishly for me in the game I tried on www.freeonlinegames.com/play/3350.html. The third sight seems to require registration so I did not try it.
Freeonline games was more responsive for me using Firefox, you might want to give this browser a try and see how it behaves.

Arrow keys won't work

another question. my arrow keys work when using word, email, etc.. but won't work during other tasks such as going up and down folders, etc ...

Hi, are you still having problems with this?

Keyboard shortcut for star shape does not work - arrow keys

I need to use the star shape to make a sort of badge with many points.
In the past, I've used the star shape and held up arrow or down arrow to change the number of points on the star. This no longer works for me in Adobe Illustrator CS4 (on a Windows Vista). Did this shortcut change? All my other keyboard shortcuts work. I tried resetting the preference file for Illustrator just in case, but it didn't fix it.

I have found a work-around for this problem, although it's a bit annoying.
I have a Wacom Bamboo tablet and encountered the same problem with establishing the number of points on a star. I tried everything and noticed it worked sometimes. Well, turns out that it will work only once after changing the settings for your pen. I just moved the tip feel setting leaving the pen tablet properties window open, went to illustrator and the arrow keys worked. If you try drawing the shape again, it won't work. You have to go back to the pen tablet properties window and move or change something, go back to illustrator and it works again. It's a little annoying, but if you're used to using the arrow keys to create shapes, it's handy to know it's there.

Excel arrow keys stop working (NOT SCROLL LOCK)

Excel Office Pro Plus 2013 on windows 7 64 bit.
This has happened since I loaded it.. older excel never has this issue on same host.
When I am working in a spreadsheet and moving around with arrow keys.. they stop working randomly.
It is NOT scroll lock... I can turn scroll lock on and off no effect.
IF I change to another tab then back to the same tab .. the arrow keys work again!!!
This happens in many spreadsheets... seems like the larger they are the worse it it.. VERY annoying and makes it unusable!!
I have all the latest patches and have rebooted .. this has been going on since I loaded excel.. I was hoping a patch would fix it..
but it keeps happening randomly...
ANY ideas?
-Ken

Down Arrow key stopped working and the Shift 2 for "@" stopped working?

Only had the MacAir for a Month.
Other arrow keys work fine. then the Shift 2 "@" won't work now.
What the route for fixing this problem

Hi BGreg,
Thanks for your speedy reply! That document is useful however how do I get the keycap off, as it only explains how to get the keycap back on. Again I've had a look for info pertaining to getting the key off and haven't found anything, does anyone know where this document is?
As a side note was in a store today looking at the latest 17" macbook pro. Soooooo nice. Think it might be time for an upgrade next year!

Arrow keys dont work on flash games

Hi, anyone had this problem? The arrow keys dont work when I
play flash games. Have downloaded latest version of flash (multiple
times) and still the same problem. I load up a flash game, then can
only use the mouse to play. Arrow keys just dont respond when used.
Arrow keys work fine on other programs, just flash is a
problem
Really hope someone has had this before and knows what to do.
Thanks for any replies.

I had the same problem and was looking around on the net for
help. I found a post that said to try using the numbered keypad
instead, as in 8 is up, 2 is down, 4 is left and 6 is right. It
worked for me so hopefully this will help you as well. :)

Home and End Key(Right and Left Arrows) Not Working!!!

I have a Macbook... And all of a sudden the Home(Left Arrow) and the End(Right Arrow) keys have stopped working. I have no clue why this happened?? Can somebody PLZ help me out????

I have a Macbook Pro and since upgrading to 10.6.4 none of my arrow keys work. Neither do the +&= or ?&/ keys. All other keys are OK. The only way around this is to use 'keyboard viewer' which is inconvenient to say the least. I assume this must be a software related issue.
