Parts of keyboard dont work in CS4 (enter and arrow keys)
Hello all... a really weird problem:
The arrow, enter and tab keys dont work in a new installation of CS4.....
The user cant move objects around via the keyboard arrows, and cant insert an enter or move the cursor around when editing text.
Really weird.... but it looks like these keys are just disabled. They work OK in Microsoft Office applications. So I dont think it is they keyboard physically.
Anyone seen this before?
Try replacing the preferences. If it's a new install, there's probably not much to lose yet. Hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift IMMEDIATELY after launching ID from the start menu. You have to be REALLY fast. If you don't see a confirmation dialog, try again.

I have a Qosmio x775-SP7102L, the keyboard dont work after i upgrade to win 8.1, the device manager have a CODE 19 error,
i try to find a driver for sp/2 standard keyboard for win 8.1
please someone help!!!!!Microsoft suggests you :
Uninstall and reinstall the driver
Uninstall the driver from Device Manager and scan for new hardware to install the driver again.
In the device's Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click Uninstall. Follow the instructions.
Restart your computer.
Open Device Manager, click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes. Follow the instructions.
Note You may be prompted to provide the path of the driver. Windows may have the driver built-in, or may still have the driver files installed from the last time that you set up the device. However, sometimes, it will open the New Hardware Wizard which may ask for the driver. If you are asked for the driver and you do not have it, you can try to download the latest driver from the hardware vendor’s website.
Revert to the most recent successful registry configuration
The Last Known Good Configuration feature is a recovery option that you can use to start your computer by using the most recent settings that worked. The Last Known Good Configuration feature restores all the registry information and driver settings that were in effect the last time that the computer started successfully.

Installed Windows 8 on a late 2011 MacBook Air and was working fine now keyboard not working so cannot enter password? Caplocks key works but I am locked out on my own PC and cannot seem to get it to recognize built in keyboard,bluetooth,generic USB one.
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -

Enter and shift keys not working. HELP!!!
A few days ago my mouse started behaving erratically all of a sudden. It would move by itself, click apps, and switch tabs rapidly all on its own. I've had this computer for over 2 years and this has never happened before. Restarting and rebooting into safe mode didn't work, but one user suggested a PRAM reset and that fixed the mouse problem. However, my enter and shift key on the right side do not work now (this is much less annoying than the mouse problem, but still very inconvenient!). Restarting the computer and doing another PRAM reset doesn't work unfortunately. I also used the keyboard viewer to confirm that all but those two keys work. I don't think the issue is with keyboard lint because both keys worked fine before I tried the reset. Booting up in safe mode also doesn't fix the problem. It would be great if I could find a way to fix this here since I won't be able to go to an Apple genius bar until December!
Hello sandi3s,
The troubleshooting detailed below may help restore functionality to your MacBook Pro's keyboard.
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 Accessibilty or Universal Access pane in System Preferences, then 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 Accessibilty or 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: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 How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
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 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.
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

Enter and tab keys no longer work
Good morning.
My enter and tab keys are no longer working within a text box. Could it be the result of installing "Deke Shortcuts" on my system? I never had a problem before the installation....
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you.Did you try removing the shortcuts?
I'd suggest resetting your prefes: Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences -
After downloading OS X Yosemite my RETURN/ENTER and SHIFT keys no longer work, and my number keys only work as numbers - no longer do they serve as exclamation points or dollar signs etc. PLEASE HELP
Does this bad behavior persist when logging in as a different user, e.g., Guest? Does it persist when starting up in Safe Mode?

Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.
It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...

HP G62-348CA number keys and arrow keys not working
Good day Experts! Can someone help me fix my laptop? I got G62-348CA unit. only number 5 and 6 in my number keys are working and also arrow keys down and right are not functioning. at first it was built with windows 7 home premium 64bit but then i have to reformat my laptop with windows 7 ultimate but i dont have available 64bit so i install 32bit of the OS. before i install the OS, number keys and arrow keys are working fine but after I reformat my laptop with ultimate 32bit, the said keys are not working. please guys help me. im having trouble with my unit and i dont know what to do. its pretty bad i dont have any idea. all the best with you guys and i'm hoping for your fast and kind response. thank you!
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 -
InDesign CS5 - Enter and Return keys give unexpected results
I've been using CS5 for just a few days (Mac Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.3). I've noticed that the Enter and Return keys aren't always behaving as expected. Enter doesn't give me a column break, shift-Return doesn't give me a line break but a new paragraph, and more often than not I can't select the default option in a dialog with either Return or Enter. I've just read cpsid_84345, which says this is an issue in German and Swedish language versions, but I'm using English. The 7.01 update doesn't seem to be available. Any advice?
That the KBSC files are XML doesn't guarantee faultless migration from one version to the next, probably because Adobe just forgot to cope with importing KBSCs from previous versions. It's great that InDesign offers you such flexibility with the KBSCs, but it's terrible that the implementation has been so sloppy in at least the three last versions (maybe earlier versions, too, but I try to repress the memories).
Some people have been asking Adobe to make KBSCs scriptable. This would enably you to maintain a small database with KBSCs which a script could read and feed into a new version of InDesign, or redo a KBSC file after it has become corrupt, or whatever minor or major mishap.
The more people ask for this the better: go to http://www.adobe.com/support/feature.html and request script access to the KBSCs.

Number keys on keyboard dont work
The 1 to 9 keys on the top part of my keyboard stopped working.The ` 0 - = keys all work fine. It is a wireless keyboard (model no. A1314) without a number pad on the side. Nothing has been spilled on it. I have tried it on another Mac and it does not work there either.
I have tried it on another Mac and it does not work there either.
That would indicate that the fault is within the keyboard itself, and is not a software issue, meaning there is no setting or instruction through the OS which can fix it.
You will probably need to replace the keyboard.
If the computer is still under warranty, and the keyboard is the original, it should also be covered. If you have AppleCare on that machine, that may cover its replacement. -

Firefox takes forever to load. When trying to fill in a form on a Web Page the Keyboard wont work and I have to close Firefox and start over. It stops for no reason and page gets s white haze over it. I have reloaded Foxfire. Uninstalled it and downloaded the latest version but it continues. Any clues Thanks Haydn
Another update:
I just tried a different router, an older wireless version of the same router and when I first plugged it in and restarted my computer the internet seemed to work normally again, under 5 second page loads (which is still slower than I'm used to getting, but it was a major improvent).
Then I checked different slots in the router to see if my IP address was changing and it was still remaining on the same IP regardless of which slot I put it in. Do I have to restart my computer everytime I change slots? Either way the internet seemed to be working fine again.
Then I switched back to the other cord that was producing the problems and the speed slowed down again, but it was still loading pages within 10-20 seconds, leading one to believe it was indead the cord.
However, a few minutes into browsing around the web the speed seems to be getting progessively slower. I quit Safari a few times and restarted and the pages would now flash up with no delays, click one or two links with the same results. Then with the 4th or 5th new page the speed slows, and has been slowing to a dead hault again....
I am out of ideas, seemingly a different cord and different router helped things, but only at first. I don't think I can rule out the cord and router as not being problems, but I don't think they are the only problem either.
It must be something to do with the IP addresses, as I am still getting the same address regardless of which router port I put it in. But, I've tried resetting the routers and going into their configurations and resetting them to system defaults, all with no luck.
You would think my computer is the problem, as my roommates computer hasn't had any problems, however everything else on my computer is working perfectly, I've not noticed any other problems and I've tried setting and resetting every network configuration option I can think of and that still doesn't fix the problem.
Maybe the ethernet port on my computer is busted? -
SelectionChange for enter and backspace keys
Hello all,
Our VSTO addin needs to know the current selection so we can sync our taskpane with current selection. We are using the SelectionChanged event to register our taskpane synch routine. The problem is that this event doesn't fire on Enter or backspace key.
We are specifically interested in the scenarios where the Enter/backspace results in a paragraph change(para add on enter and paragraph remove on backspace of the last character in a para). It seems like a bug to me that SelectionChange wont
fire on backspace when the delete key does fires it.
Is there any other workaround to detect this paragraph change state?Hi,
>> I am not interested in a cursor change but rather a paragraph change which would indicate a change from one para to next.
The current object model does not have an event to be triggered when changing the content.
If you want to detect the paragraph changing, we could also use a global Timer to detect the paragraph changing of the active document.
>> Multiple documents - i would have to suspend/reactivate my timer on Activate/Deactivate events
>> Multiple windows of the same document - If i have the same document open in multiple windows, split window, new window etc, how would this timer work?
Here is the sample code for your reference:
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using System.Timers;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace WordSelectionChangeIssue
public partial class ThisAddIn
private Timer addInTimer { get; set; }
private Dictionary<string, int> ParagraphCountDict { get; set; }
private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
addInTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
ParagraphCountDict = new Dictionary<string, int>();
addInTimer.Interval = 1000;
addInTimer.Elapsed += TimerElapsedHandler;
addInTimer.Start();
private void BindToChange(Word.Document document)
ParagraphCountDict.Add(document.Name, document.Paragraphs.Count);
private void TimerElapsedHandler(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
if(Application.Documents.Count == 0)
return;
try
var activeDocument = Application.ActiveDocument;
if (!ParagraphCountDict.ContainsKey(activeDocument.Name))
BindToChange(activeDocument);
var previousParagraphsCount = ParagraphCountDict[activeDocument.Name];
var count = activeDocument.Paragraphs.Count;
if (previousParagraphsCount != count)
ParagraphCountDict[activeDocument.Name] = count;
// trigger event
ParagraphChangeHanlder(activeDocument);
}catch(COMException comEx)
private void ParagraphChangeHanlder(Word.Document document)
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Paragraph Changed!");
private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
addInTimer.Stop();
#region VSTO generated code
/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.

this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Startup);

How to use the validation work in Both TAB and Mouse keys in Forms6i
Hi,
I have a validation script once it's validated it should execute the query.But using When-Validate-Item i can't use execute_query.I am able to use the validation in Key-Next-Item trigger but if the user moves the cursor using mouse then it's not working.
How to use the validation script working in Both Scenarios(Tab and Mouse keys).
Can anyone please give inputs to rectify the above issue?.So you have multiple fields, but on at least one of them if it's valid you immediately want to execute the query?
You could create a hidden field in a control block Query_Now default 'N'. In a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM on your item, if it's determined to be valid, then set Query_Now to 'Y'.
In a WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE at block level, check if Query_Now is 'Y'. If it is then execute the query (and set it back to 'N').
