Left and right keys doesn't work

Need help. My left and right keys work like tab keys. It jump to the next or back thingy like how it works in Excel...

Hi B,
That's how they're supposed to work. What do you want them to do?

Then I wouldn't think it's to do with the Arch, updating does not stop parts of the keyboard working for the bios as it's separate firmware. When you can access the bios after first turning on, your PC has not yet accessed the hard drive to load the drivers for the operating system yet. Also as far as I'm aware Arch (or any other operating system in fact) has never updated the bios firmware.

Touchpad left and right clicks don't work on Yoga 2 pro

Hi,
I just bought a a yoga 2 pro. After setting up, I found that the two bottom keys, left and right keys on the trackpad do not work. Double tap also doesn't work. I reinstall the touchpad driver to no avail. Other gestures on the touchpad work fine, single tap registers as left click, two finger scroll also works. Also, when I use a blue tooth mouse, left and right key works fine.
I am not sure if this is a hardware problem as when I swipe on the area of the two bottom keys, they register the movement. Just not click. Anyone can help me?

Hello,
I've had a Yoga2 Pro now for six months or so. Just recently the left click stopped working correctly. What I notice is that when holding down the left click button on the touch pad, and I try to drag a slider (like a volume slider or to drag a selection box or to drag a scroll box on a page, or to highlight text) and it stops holding down the click. Sometimes it works, sometimes it keeps stopping.
Now, the right click is malfunctioning as well. I press right click on something like an image, and nothing happens. I have to right click on something 2-10 times now for it to register that I'm right clicking.
Also, should I be able to tap the touchpad with two fingers and have that be a right click, or am I just reading that I should be able to do that on the screen (which can)?
I have downloaded the drivers for the y2p touchpad and the y2-13 and the generic ones from the synaptics webpage, but before I uninstall my drivers and try to install those, I want to be sure that is the correct and only possible fix. I'm hoping its not a hardware malfunction. I am running Win 8.1.
Thank you.

How can I install CS5 on a new/replacement laptop? I paid full price in 2011 and have the key (and it shows up in my Adobe account under products), but it was a downloaded product and I can't find a download of that version online and my key doesn't work

Your key cannot work in CC, it's newer version, and would require a new purchase.

If none of the 5 R's of troubleshooting were able to resolve the issue, we can be certain that it is hardware related meaning you'll need to take/send your iPod in for service or repair.

Left and right key press going to different markers

Hello there does anyone know exactly how to set the key press
of the left and right arrow keys on the key board so when i press
the left key it goes back a marker and when pressing the right key
it goes to the next marker. I am fairly new to lingo so any help
would be great and as simple as possible thanks

Hi,
I've created a slide show type application where arrow keys
as well as PageUp and
PageDown were used to move forward and back. Forward and Back
were not always
'previous' or 'next' markers. So, I created buttons on the
stage that acted as
forward and back, and each button had the regular mouseUp
event with the link to
the suitable location. I actually put the buttons off stage
and in a movie script
at:
on keyDown
case the keyCode of
121 : sendSprite (10, #mouseUp) -- pageUp
116 : sendSprite (11, #mouseUp) -- pageDown
end case
end
Using the 'sendSprite', when the user pressed a key, I could
activate the behavior
attached to the related navigation sprite. And, I could
easily add or remove key
controls by changing the movie script.
I have more info on using sendSprite, sendAllSprites and call
commands at::

Command Option Left/Right Key Doesn't Work

10.6.8 Snow Leopard,
Command+Option+Left/Right Key stop working.
I couldn't move tab, or play previous movie file nor next one.
http://codereview.chromium.org/273032
I've tested the other keys work, but just CMD+OPT+Left/Right Arrow hadn't.
Is there any quick repair or solution?

10.6.8 Snow Leopard,

If this is not in the standard apple keyboard shortcuts and not something you added to the Keyboard Shortcuts preferencs then it's an app specific extension and not Snow Leopard's (i.e., Apple's) problem.

Left and Right-Click Only Working Half The Time

Ok, I have a Pavilion G6, A6Y36UA#ABA The last few days, my mouse (trackpad and buttons on the laptop NOT an external one) works fine but I can't left-click on the desktop, start menu (or apparently Paint?). Everytime I try to left-click, the right-click menu pops up (except in Paint. It doesn't do anything in Paint except not work). I tried right clicking thinking it was backwards but that doens't work.
I can left click as normal on the task bar, in Microsoft Word and in my Internet browser but I can't RIGHT click. (I can use the keyboard buton to bring up the right-click menu but it's still a pain) and for some reason, once I open more than one tab in Chrome, I can't go back to the earlier tabs unless I first close the tabs opened after it (also annoying).
I've restarted the computer. Uninstalled the touch pad driver, restarted, reinstalled the device driver, restarted and I'm STILL having problems with it. Please help!

I understand that your right-click and left-click buttons aren't quite working the way they should.
What happens if you boot into a clean boot state?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Also, what happens if you boot into safe mode with networking? This can be done by turning the system on and pressing F8 about once a second to get the options for safe mode.

Left and Right Arrow Keys Not Working

I know this has been asked A LOT, but I can't find a concise answer that works.
Some have had success with fixing something in their System Preferences, then Keyboard Shortcuts. I don't know what this means, went there, and can't add left/right commands as the keys don't do anything. This is probably something easily explained, but I need to be walked through the steps as I don't know how to "add shortcuts" exactly.
I just really need the left and right keys, as I'm a writer and that helps to fix typos quicker.

Trackpad won't move curser mouse does. Left and right click working fine

Hello everyone,
I have a problem. Out of nowhere my trackpad won't move the curser anymore. Connecting a USB mouse does. Left and right click are still working fine. Any ideas of how to fix it?
Thanks
Dave

Hey there DaveDaMac,
It sounds like your built in track pad is not responding at all, but your USB mouse works without issue. I recommend the troubleshooting in this article for you named:
Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248
Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Left and Right listener

I need a little help, my program has to have a left and right key listener and i have 0 clue how to do that, so if someone can help i need it so when i click left my image will go left and etc...

Here you go:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyAdapter;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.Point;
public class KeyDemo extends JFrame {
     private JLabel text;
     public KeyDemo() {
          text = new JLabel("This is a Demo.");
          text.setSize(100, 20);
          text.setLocation(5, 5);
          this.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
          this.getContentPane().add(text);
          this.pack();
          this.setSize(500, 300);
          this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          this.setTitle("Keys Demo");
          this.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
               this.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
                    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent evt) {
                         if( evt.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT ) {
                              Point p = text.getLocation();
                              text.setLocation((int)p.getX() + 1, (int)p.getY());
                         } else if( evt.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT ) {
                              Point p = text.getLocation();
                              text.setLocation((int)p.getX() - 1, (int)p.getY());
     public static void main(String[] argv) { new KeyDemo().setVisible(true); }
}

Windows key + left and right arrows not working with RemoteApp windows

My office is deploying RemoteApps to replace certain locally installed applications. I, and many of my coworkers, have 2-3 monitors and the Windows
+ left and right "snap" function has been an extremely convenient way to juggle multiple windows across multiple monitors. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with RemoteApp windows. Does anyone know a way to get this working?

Hi,
Based on my test, I agree with Keith Langmead, it seems Windows key + left or right key cannot work with remoteapp.

I updated to maverick, and maybe it's a coincidence but my left shift key doesn't work unless i really press it down. Is there any way to fix this without bringing it into the Genius Bar?

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

Why after i update my left and right arrow keys stop working

my left and right arrow keys stoped working after i updated to Mavericks now the dont work

Hello ccombs2014,
It sounds like 2 of your keys are not working after updating to Mavericks. I found this section of an article for you to help troubleshoot this issue named:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
