  • Left convenience key problem

    No matter how many times I reset it the left convenience key only brings up the phone book. I want the default voice calling. I've tried setting it to several things to see if it was a problem with just the voice calling but no the phone book is all that key will bring up. The other side works fine. I reset it when I first got my 8110 for the alarm feature but recently decided to change back to default. It won't go back to alarm either.  TIA

  • Left Convenience Key issue

    Hi any assitance appreciated
    In Options>Screen/keyboard, Ii set up the L (or R) Convenience key as "Compose"
    This should allow a one key press to initiate an SMS
    However when I push it and it spawns the response from the BB Storm, it brings up the contact list ok but when I chose a contact  - all it does is ask if I want  to CALL the contact. It doesnt switch to the text insertion mode so that  I can actuially compse a text.  In the menu then it asks if I wasnt o call sms or mms the contact.
    Any ideas whassup?  Or how els one can get a 1 key method of getting to the SMS prog?
    TIA 

    Having a compose shortcut will take to address book to choose a contact so that you can send emails. It will not direct you for making calls or sending SMS text.

  • Getting IM+Talk to work - convenience key

    Good day,
    I have loaded IM+Talk and in order for me to transmit voice, it requests that the "left convenience key" be pressed. There is no left convenience key to press.
    Skype connects, and I can hear the other party, but cannot transmit voice.
    If I go to options to assign an action to the convenience key (situated on the right), it seems that the convenience key only opens applications such as camera (default action).
    Question is - how do I then transmit voice using IM+Talk?
    Appreciate your feedback.
    Jean

    CmdfnF5 (or just Cmd+F5 if your keyboard is set to use the F keys as F keys instead of vol controls etc.)
    Can also be set from System Preferences > Universal Access

  • Left shortcut key - lock keyboard?

    Hello!
    After the update I've lost the lock icon (yeah yeah I found out that Play/Pause key is locking keyboard when I hold it). But even the problem was solved (I know how to lock keyboard) I'm having a really bad time with that "new" solution. How I can put to the left shortcut key the keyboard locking? Please help!

    You can set your left convenience key to Password Lock if you enable a device password. Setting a convenience key as keyboard lock is not available in new versions of BlackBerry Device Software. See the following article for more information: http://bbry.lv/bd4PN4

  • Disable left Apple key

    Hi,
    Is there a trick to disable the left Apple key? Is there something like xmodmap for applications outside X11?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, I don't know the answer to this — except ripping the cap off the key and sticking a wad of chewing gum on in its place!
    But I am curious as to WHY you'd want to do this. The convenience of having two Cmd keys is great—for example, Cmd-Q is best typed with the right Cmd key, whereas Cmd-P is easier to get with the left.
    Cheers!

    Hello lillibitt67
                               To rule out any Software issue I prefer you should Reload your Device Software and see if that helps otherwise you need to contact your Service provider for repair.So please try it first.

  • Convenience keys opening the phone screen.

    I have a Curve 8530. The convenience keys are going to the phone screen. The right is entering the letters Hi and the left is entering Yi.
    I've checked the options and its set on camera and voice dial defaults.
    I've tried enabling memory cleaning. I am at a loss. Please help.
    Thanks

    Try restoring as new, i.e. without your backup.

  • My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).  The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard?  This just started in last week after 6 months of use

    My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). 
    The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard. 
    This just started in last week after 6 months of use.  The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
    Suggestions greatly appreciated.

    I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support.  Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences.  Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
    A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key).  I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility.  The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
    Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

  • How do I fix my left shift key? Any open windows leave and make the desktop visible.

    How do I fix my left shift key? Any open windows leave and make the desktop visible. I have tired to go into system preferences and reset all of the keyboard settings to default but the issue hasn't gone away.

    You are not running as administrator, I think, which may be required and the only way to properly work and register. Also check for compatibility mode settings, UAC and DEP, all of which may require to be adjusted for a legacy app like PS CS2 to run properly. Also turn off Aero and switch to a conventional visual theme. The brush issue may be related to that or is a more generic problem with your graphics card and mouse config, but since you didn't provide any info on that, it will be hard for anyone to advise.

  • Left arrow key does not go back one character at a time

    on my key pad, I cannot backup "over" characters one space at a time  I am not looking to DELETE, merly to backup one character at a time.  I know I can use the function key along with the arrow key for word at a time jump.  I can jump one character to the right by pushing that key but I cannot do that with my left arrow key.  slight annoyance, but I swear it worked before. . .

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • Left shift key doesn't work on some characters

    In some applications, such as Excel and AOL, my left shift key doesn't work on some letters. Consequently, when I'm typing I get lower case letters when I've typed shift plus the letter to get a cap. Right shift works OK, but I'm not used to using it. It happens on i, t, and p, I've noticed so far. I don't know if it's the keyboard or the application. Word seems to work fine.
    Would welcome any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it.

    Is it possible that you have inadvertently switched to a different keyboard layout? Open System Preferences, then click on the Language & Text preferences. Within the Language & Text preferences click on the 'Input Sources'. You should see a long list of languages representing the various keyboard layouts that are available. Make sure that only the keyboard language you use is selected. If there are multiple languages selected then de-select the extras.
    If you continue to have problems then check the 'Show input menu in menu bar' checkbox in the lower section of the preference pane. This will place an icon in the upper right menu bar (it looks like a flag representing the language you have chosen for your input device) that provides additional options. I suggest selecing the 'Show Keyboard Viewer' option and then try pressing the keys that you are having problems with to see how they show up on the keyboard viewer graphic. If you've set the correct language for your keyboard and the key sequences still don't match, then you may need to take your keyboard in for service. Better yet, borrow another keyboard to confirm that the keyboard is the issue.

  • Is there a way to swap the Fn key and left Ctrl key

    Is there a way to swap the functions of Fn key and left Ctrl key on the keyboard. I'm used to other keyboards where the keys are switched and I keep pressing Fn when I want to press Ctrl.  I figure I'll get used to it eventually, but when I use the laptop in a docking station with a regular keyboard the control key is in one spot and undocked with the Lenovo keyboard the function key is there instead, which makes it hard to get used to.
    If not is there a way to disable the Fn + Space bar function that changes the screen resolution. The programs I use use control + space heavily and my screen resolution keeps changing when I don't want it to.
    It's a small thing I know, but very maddening.

    Thanks, I took the survey. It's interesting the questions on there were asking about location of keys like page up and page down. I find the position of those keys are not that important to me because I don't use them that much and don't seem to mind looking at the keyboard to find them. Also they are almost always in different spots depending on whether you are on a desktop or laptop keyboard so I guess I'm used to unconsciously switching depending on which keyboard I'm on.
    But the left control key is one of the most heavily used, at least by developers like me (control+c to copy, control+v to paste, and control+space for code assist, shift + control + f to format code, shift + control + r to find resources, etc...). I have to hit that Ctrl button 1000 times a day. And the key is in the bottom far left corner on every keyboard (desk top and laptop) I've ever seen until now. Having to remember to look down at the keyboard to find the key is proving difficult and I think is actually hurting my productivity. Especially control+space (when you are expecting a popup to automatically complete the line of code you're working on and instead the screen blinks, resizes and your whole editor loses focus it really breaks your flow of thought, so thanks a million for helping me turn off the silly screen zoom feature).
    Hopefully I'll get used to it like with the other keys like page up and page down although I've had the laptop for two weeks and it's proving difficult. If I had know that Thinkpads have this layout and how maddening it would be to get used to it I probably wouldn't have bought it, even though everything else about it is great. It's amazing how such a small thing can become such an irritant.
    Well thanks again, and if anybody from Lenovo engineering is reading this post, my vote is for some bios setting on the T61P that swaps the functions of Fn and Left control key. It would save me a lot of grief anyway.
