Brightness shortcut keys not working in Windows 8 or 8.1

I'm no longer able to use the brightness shortcut keys after I've installed the Lenovo power management tool in Windows 8 on a Ideapad U300s.
When the Lenovo power management tool is NOT installed on the system, pressing the shortcut keys brings up the Windows UI in the upper left hand corner of the screen and the display bridghness is adjusted accordingly.
However, as soon as the Lenov PM software is installed, the Windows brightness indicator shows up ONCE and I can no longer adjust the brightness with the shortcut buttons.

At the moment, there aren't any Boot Camp drivers ready for Windows 8, so it's normal that you have problems. Wait until Apple updates Boot Camp drivers, normally with a OS X update

Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
To install them, follow these steps:
1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

Esc key not working in windows 7

Hi,
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-4XXX series. It's almost been 2 years I bought this notebook.
Recently I faced an issue. The "ESC KEY" has stopped working. However I could find that it's working fine in BIOS but not when I am logged in to windows. I have windows-7 installed.
Please let me know what could be the issue and the solution for the same.

Hello siddharthmishra,
You’re having a problem with the ESC key not working.
Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should uninstall and reinstall the driver for the keyboard.
Here is a link to device manager.
If the problem has not been happening for very long, you might try a System Restore. This will take the system back to before the problem started happening without affecting any of your files.
Here is a link to a System Restore.
Let me know how everything goes.

Premiere Pro CC shortcut keys not working

I have downloaded the trial version of premiere pro and I found that all the keyboard shortcuts do not work at all. Basic things like delete, copy,cut and undo don't work, as well as ever other shortcut. Does this have to do with the trial version, or is there something I can do to fix this.
Thanks

jcellini, heilirqxx, andrewsamson and everyone else this forum
thanks for the kudos. feels good to help. i actually joined the forum hoping to find an answer to this specific problem never thinking i'd be the one to hit on the solution. no genius just a lot of luck and perserverance.
my knowledge of CS4 is rudimentary and my work is rather pedestrian, so its good to know there is a "community" where one can find help and support. maybe it will help me take my work up a notch or two
happy thanksgiving everybody and again thanks

PP CS6 PageUp & PageDn shortcut keys not working

Heads up... This may look like a simple topic that's been covered before, but read on and you'll see it's different.
I've been using Premiere since v5.5 (Windows 95, not CS 5.5!). I use lots of shortcut keys for all my apps. Premiere has always used PageUp and PageDn to move the cursor to the next edit point (any cut video or audio clip). In PP CS6, I went into change the shortcut keys for those two commands to the same ones I've been using for years. PP CS6 has two sets of options for cursor movements: Selected Track(s) or Any Track. The Any Track is the way it's worked before in earlier versions of PP. I set the Any Tracks Next/Previous to PageDown and PageUp respectively. The actual keystrokes appear in the hot-key window when I press them so I know PP sees the keys and knows what they are.
When I saved the shortcuts and went to the timeline... nada. PgUp and PgDn do nothing. This has nothing to do with selected video tracks as I'm using the Any Tracks option. To do a further test, I changed the shortcut keys to Ctrl+PgUp and Ctr+PgDn for Any Track. When I tested that out, it worked perfectly. So this appears to be a bug of some kind. I've been using PgUp and PgDn for many years. I certainly don't want to have to hold the Ctrl key down while Paging Up and Down to move around the project from clip to clip!
Does anyone have a solution to this one?
Thanks for your help...

"But you can set any shortcut key to suit whatever keys you have available."
Yeah, I know, but every now and then I have to reinstall and then there's the agony of changing again from the defaults :-( In the end, like 'em or hate 'em, sticking with the defaults usually makes for an easier life. I say that as someone who has been commercially programming since 1967 and forced to use practically every crazy language and stupid machine ever invented ;-)

Staroffice 8 Zoom Shortcut keys not working

(Solaris 10, Staroffice 8 U3 rev 2, Sunray)
The shortcut keys for zoom in Drawing and Presents used to be the "+", "-", "/" and "*" keys (with num lock ON).
The issue:
The + and - keys still zoom in and out, but the / and * keys no longer zoom anything
What I am expecting:
The "/" should zoom to the "selection" and the * key should zoom to the page
Notes:
- the "zoom" button is enabled in a toolbar, and it changes to the appropriate "icon" when I hit the / and * keys, but nothing happens to the view
- I have tried this with different keyboards.
- I have tried this on openoffice on a mac, with similar results
Could this be a bug, or is it something i'm missing?
Cheers,
- jd

Also the toolbar icons are not working as expected.
When I'm pressing zoom-in or zoom-out the position of the worksheet is shifting to another coordinate.
Zooming in to a specific point is not possible, so I have to zoom-in first and then reposition the worksheet next.
Zooming out also ends up with an extra repositioning of the worksheet.
DM is 3.1.1.703, OS is windows 7.
Any feedback if this is reproduceable on other installations.

Certain action shortcut keys not working

In my Captivate 5.5 training simulation, I want users to click Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. I've tried inserting a transparent click box and setting the shortcut to Ctrl+C. On success is set to go to the next slide.
When I preview the training and I press Ctrl+C on my keyboard, nothing happens. I don't get the fail message and the slide doesn't advance.
If I set the shortcut to something else, like Ctrl+L, it works fine. I'm guessing that certain Windows keyboard combinations are not allowed as shortcuts? Is there a way around this?
Thanks!

Hi,
Like you said, it is not working when you keep a shortcut, which is same as a Windwos Default shortcut for certain action, even the Cp User Guide does not recommend to have a conflicting Shortcut --
"Note: If your Adobe Captivate project is displayed in a browser, set keyboard shortcuts that do not conflict with common browser shortcuts. For example, F1 is frequently used as a keyboard shortc"ut to display Help. The Control, Alt, and Shift keys map to the Control, Option, and Shift keys on Macintosh® computers, respectively."
When such a conflict arises in project shortcut to System Shortcut, the System shortcut takes precendence and it overrides the project shortcut.
Thanks!

Satellite A350 - FN keys not working after Windows 7 installation

Sorry for my bad english, i am forum Portugal and i don't are very good at english.
1 I installed Windows 7 on my pc, installed the drivers 7 and FN was to give. However I had another problem and had to format the pc again, now install everything again and functionality not the FN.
2 Without the drive functionality that is FN + F6/F7 brightness works. But with the drive not installed anything. It seems they are in conflict.
3 The bar at the top of the screen that appeared no longer appears. But if I go to Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities -> Settings for TOSHIBA E-cards. With it open, squeeze "Allow the mouse to show the cards" and they appear at the top, as hidden. But just gives me no way, I wish to give to the FN.
Anyone know how this is resolved?? It gave me immense way and even have tried everything, installed everything, there is nothing to block the FN key? A feature that blocks this key?? Please help me.
My PC as it says in the title is Toshiba Sattelite A350D 10Y PSALME....

To enable Fn key functionality, you need to install:
TOSHIBA Value Added Package (v1.2.28)
Utility Support Driver for Windows 7 (v1.0.25.5C)
If you installed Vista version of those packages, it may not work properly.
You need to Windows 7 versions specifically for the A350

FN key not working in Windows XP - Satellite L305-S5885

Hello, I have recently downgraded my Toshiba Satellite L305 S5885 from Vista to WindowsXP. Everything is working fine except the function (Fn) keys for controlling screen brightness, volume. Some work like mute but most do not do anything when I try to use them. All drivers installed fine the device manager shows nothing missing or errors.
I have tried installing all the drivers for the keyboard, Fn keys, hotkeys and still I cannot get them to work at all. Has anyone been able to get these keys to work after installing WinXP or do you know what drivers/software I am missing? Can these keys be used in XP or do they only work in Vista?
Thanks.

Woudl advise a BIOS upgrade when downgrading to Windows XP, the European BIOS driver for your version of notebook is;

Captivate 7 Button Shortcut Keys Not Working

In captivate 7 I have several button interactions that worked in 5.5, but do not work in 7. I am using shortcut key combinations (i.e. CtrlC and CtrlV) to have the user navigate to the next slide. I have replaced the interactions and they still do not work. Any ideas?

I will provide more information. The files I am working with were created in Captivate 4. We moved up to Captivate 7 and these files had to be processed through Captivate 5.5 so I could open them in Captivate 7. The tasks being trained involve Systems Training where the user enters keystrokes, like the Enter key, and several key combinations, like Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V. In Captivate 4, to simulate these functions, I used the Transparent Button with No Mouse Click and the Shortcut Key or combinations. I had no problems, everything worked fine. When I was cleaning up the new Captivate 7 file, is when I noticed the key combinations (i.e. CtrlC, CtrlV) no longer allowed the project to navigate to the next slide. It does not produce a failure or show the Failure caption. It is like it is accepting the key combination as valid, but not performing the action to navigate to the next slide. The only way I found to get around this issue was to uncheck the Visible in output check box.
I was also recreating some of these files from scratch in Captivate 7 and did notice unchecking the Visible in Output box would cause the button to be ignored and the project would just continue. I did notice the keystroke combination setting in the Shortcut on the button does not work. Even in a clean Captivate 7 file. Further testing showed this is somewhat erratic. For instance if I assign CtrlA or CtrlN as keystroke combinations, the project navigates as expected. If I use CtrlX the same problem occurs as with CtrlC and Ctrl+V. Also, the Failure caption does not display when using a wrong keystroke combination. It only works with single keys, not to include Ctrl or Alt. In Captivate 4, the Failure caption displayed correctly with the keystroke combinations.
I am using Captivate 7 (32 bit) with Windows XP SP3 on a Pentium 4 with 4 Gb of RAM. I know…extremely slow, but this is the best the state would provide. I hope this information has made things a little clearer.

Shortcut keys NOT working when publish to PDF full screen

We have a series of modules that are published to pdf and the animations run inside the pdf file. We use the Tab shortcut key quite a bit as it simulates the natural progression between form items.
This works fine when viewing the pdf in standard mode. But when you right click on the PDF and go full screen, the Tab key fails to work. It wants to place emphasis on the playback controller.
Has anyone experienced this issue, and do you know the workaround?

If the PDF's page content is not renderable text (e.g., the scanned image/picuture of characters or outlined fonts (which are graphics (a "picuture")) then there is nothing for the Highlight Comment tool to work with.
So - two trials.
Acrobat's Preferences set to permit "U" to make use of the Underline tool.
Each trial done in Full screen.
#1 = a PDF with scanned stuff. Press "U". Tool is available but unable to highlight anything.
#2 = a PDF with renderable stuff. Press "U". Tool is available & can place highlight over selected characters.
Be well...

Shortcut keys not working

On my Mac (OSX 10.9.5), the 'step backwards' shortcut key (cmd-alt-z) isn't working; nothing happens.
On my Windows (Windows 7) pc, the 'step forwards' shortcut key (ctrl-shift-z) isn't working.
If I go into the shortcut menu and change the shortcut key, it doesn't let me change it back to the original shortcut (cmd-alt-z) and I have to reset the keybindings.
I have tried resetting preferences. All of the keys on both keyboards work, and I can use those keys as shortcuts in other software. I'm using photoshop CC (2014).
Any suggestions to get the shortcut keys working again?
Thanks,
Ben

If you have Photoshop CC or older, install the WhiteWindowWorkaround plugin.
And install the MacOS 10.10.1 update.
if you have any other queries please reply

Keyboard: audio and Brightness control keys not working with or without fn

The Keys for controling Audio and Brightness (F1-F5) do not work.
Also combined with pressing the "fn" key the keys do not work.
So i only control audio with the remote control or the slider in the menubar.
Making a reboot with deleting pram didn't help.
I'm running the up to date version of leopard on a macbook pro (core2duo).
I also searched in the forum for this problem.
I oten read about "sytem control"-"keyboard and mouse"-"keyboard" and the F1, F2, etc. to use as...
but switching this button on or off doesn't change anything.

problem solved:
the couse was the software update 1.1 for macbook pro, because there i had the problem like in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6142512&#6142512
and did the solution like that, but there i maybe made some mistakes with renaming and copying, so i rinstalled the update and renamed it a copied to plugins, and now all works as it should.
thanks for help
