PgUp, PgDn, Home and End not working

Hey all,
I'm using the G62 Laptop and just noticed in the last few days that the home, pgup, pgdn and end keys have not been functioning (I've tried both using Chrome and Microsoft Office and they haven't worked with those programs).
My operating system is Windows 7.
Thanks

HP 110-3135DX missing PgUp/Dn, Home, and End keys

As a precursor, I've been using an earlier model HP 110 up until now, so I'm used to the Fn+Arrow keys for this functionality previously. However, I got a new model, the 3135DX, and the Fn+Arrow key combos aren't working. Too, there's no (even very dark black-on-black) text referencing PgUp/PgDn on the arrow keys, or anywhere else. I use these keys for work and having to stop what I'm doing to fiddle with a scrollbar is irritating as all get-out. Is this accidental, or a design thing? And if the latter, who the heck thought this was a good idea? Is there any way I can get this functionality back, or am I going to have to go back to the store with a receipt and a "defective" laptop keyboard?

I am having the same issue. I hope HP will be able to provide a fix that allows the Home, End, PageUp, and PageDown keys to be triggered via a fn key combination.
In the meantime, I found a free, opensource utility on the Internet that allows you to create your own hot keys (www.autohotkey.com) and created a hotkey script that uses the Windows key in combination with the arrow keys to substitute for the missing keys.
For some reason, the #Left::Home key did not work for me as I expected. However, after some tinkering, the following AutoHotKey script is working very well for me:
#Left:END {Home}
#+Left::+Home
#^Left::^Home
#^+Left::^+Home
#Right::End
#Up:: PgUp
#Down:: PgDn
I hope this helps others who are suffering from the missing keys.

Key combination Ctrl-Home Ctrl-End not working.

vim has a default binding for <Ctrl-Home> goes to the beginning of the file and <Ctrl-End> for the end.
However, I couldn't get these key combinations to work for me. And I've consulted the #vim channel on freenode.
They said it maybe a problem that the terminal I'm using caught the key and didn't send it to vim, but I find this conjecture hard to believe, because I've since been testing several terminals including xfce's default, roxterm, tilda, lxterminal, lilyterm ... and none of them working.
Later when I reboot I found that, even under the pure console (tty), the combination still doesn't work !
So this must be a problem from the original key mapping itself, and not latter stuffs like xfce, terminals and editors etc...
can anyone help me fix this ? I've also seen the wiki articles but unfortunately they aren't very helpful.

The <C-{Home,End,Left,Right}> key combinations work in Xterm, but not in urxvt. All of the terminals that I recognize mentioned above are all VTE based terminals. This thread here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … +bug/89660
is showing a lot of people with gnome-terminal, also VTE based, as not working either. It's definitely a terminal issue.
The following page explains how to get Vim to recognize key combos that are usually trapped or unmapped by the terminal:

CTRL+HOME, CTRL+END not working correctly

I'm trying to use the CTRL+HOME and CTRL+END key combinations on my HP Spectre 13-3010dx. Unforturnately, when I press the combinations, they are not taking me to the beginning/end of a document in MS Word, nor the beginning/end of an Excel spreadsheet. Instead they are moving the cursor one character to the left or one character to the right respectively. It's as if the CTRL key is being ignored.
Any help with this would be appreciated.

jsnFloida,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
You may have discovered the answer by now -- Whether the keys work is tied to your Num Lock setup.
Solution: Disable the Num Lock key so your other keys on the Key Pad work as required
Many of our new keyboards lack the nice little light that indicates whether the Num Lock is enabled. This is annoying to say the least.
Your Windows key is the key down near the bottom left of your keyboard -- it looks like a Window Pane.
===========================================================================
Windows key + U (Opens Ease of Access) > Make the keyboard easier to Use >
Under section Make it easier to type
Select (Check) Turn on Toggle Keys
and
Select (Check) Turn on Toggle Keys by holding down the NUM LOCK key for 5 seconds
Click Apply
Toggle keys setting:
A "high" tone sounds = the NUM LOCK key is disabled.
A "low" tone sounds = the NUM LOCK key is enabled.
Example:
Click the NUM LOCK key, hear the low tone, and think to yourself,
"Ah, tone down low, down page = Page Down"
When the Num Lock key is disabled, the other keys work -- like your Page Down, Cntrl-Home and Cntrl-End keys.
This also switches on the Caps key tones.

PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN keys won't work in Bookmarks Toolbar. HOME and END key works fine though.

I have tried the ui.elantech_gesture_hacks.enabled method, Firefox in Safe Mode as well as deleting an existing profile and running a new one, uninstalled Firefox and removed all entries/folders associated with it and reinstalled, restarted computer numerous times in between methods, have also updated and rolled back drivers for wireless keyboard and mouse. Nothing works. Problem started when I installed Firefox 4, now I have version 23.0.1 and still can't use the mentioned keys.
I could still use PGUP/DN if I open the bookmarks using CTRL+B on the side but it makes work more productive and less stressful on the wrists if I can just scroll through by Bookmarks via the toolbar.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes, those keys seems to be not implemented for the bookmarks toolbar.
If this for folder the you have created yourself then you can consider to organize the bookmarks in sub folders that do not require scrolling.
I personally use code in userChrome.css to add scroll bars to make it easy to reach content like live feeds that require scrolling.

Here is another thread by the OP: [[/questions/969577]]
<blockquote>Have tried using the following methods and restarting the PC between methods:
* ui.elantech_gesture_hacks.enabled 3. Change its value from -1 to 0 4

* Uninstalled Firefox and deleted all folders and registry entries associated with it and then reinstalling Firefox

Terminal key bindings for Home and End

I am recording this here in the hope of savings others some time.
It is often stated that the following Terminal key bindings have to be asserted to get Home and End keys working as intended:
\033OH
\033OF
I find this misleading as it is neither what most people would type nor what they would see.
I type:
escape O H
escape O F
This results in:
\033oh
\033of
which works as intended but using 'shift' to produce the capitals depicted in most notes about this will not work.

My default bindings did not work for home and end but page up and page down inexplicably worked with shift. The image below shows the keys and their bindings (eg \033[5~ and \033[6~ stated here for Google!) I applied to Terminal to make home, end, page up and page down behave in the same way as many other applications including iTerm. Remember to type 'esc' to get '\033'.
I started out trying to improve the readability of large manual pages (eg man bash). Whilst the changes above improved things considerably I have now found better alternatives.
I tried iTerm - the keys worked correctly but inconsistencies between the various window size settings did not inspire confidence.
I now use ManOpen.app which I have configured to open when I type eg 'm chmod' in Terminal - I changed the name of openman to m and put it together with openman.1 in /usr/bin. The pages scroll normally and have hot links to other manual items. This is a simple way to vastly improve manual reading. The only slight negatives I have found are:
1 - two preference panes will not open - defaults OK for me
2 - window positions not remembered - since size can be set I can live with this
3 - text cannot be set to soft wrap to window width (misnamed zoom by some applications).
I would be interested to hear if others have found better ways of viewing manuals.

Home and end key not working on ubuntu 14

I am on Firefox on Ubuntu 14.
Home and END keys do not work properly as they do not take me to the top or the bottom of a page. Caret browsing (F7) is not activated. This problem persists with all add-ons disabled.

Shortcuts just for reference:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#firefox:linux:fx35]
I understand that there are two short cuts that do not work with caret browsing turned off. Please also see this menu:
Options > Advanced > disable "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages" option present in "General" tab.
If this is not the issue, please also contact the party that compiles Firefox specifically for Ubuntu, unless you are using the linux from [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux here]?

Missing netbook PgUp PgDn Home End function

on a new mini Compaq CQ10-400AC, no PgUp PgDn Home End keys, and the often suggested Fn+arrow keys have no effect.....
Is there any other way to solve this problem ?
to HP - Is this a BIOS or Win7 or hardware issue ?
I too haven't been able to find anything in the knowledgebase. Can't understand how HP wouldn't advance any further info, it's like leaving their users to torture themselves....
Has to be incredibly easy to just state the answer in response, one way or the other.
This question was solved.

This netbook is not equipped with Pg Up,Pg Dn, Home and End function on the keyboard....BIOS update should do the job but at this moment of all BIOS version I have tested, dont bring that functionality...

Satellite A200 - Inactive keys: CTRL, SHIFT, PGUP, PGDN, HOME, END

Hi,
I have a Satellite A200 and about a week ago, some of my keys simply stopped working.
All CTRL and SHIFT (left and right), PGUP, PGDN, HOME, END, are inactive.
I uninstalled the keyboard from Device Manager and autoreinstalled it at system startup, but nothing happened.
Is there a keyboard combination to reactivate these keys?
Thanks.

Hey,
There is no special button activate these keys. Usually all these keys work always and there is nothing to disable/enable them.
If the keyboard is malfunctioning you can test with an external keyboard as Paolo30 wrote.
If you need help from an authorized service provider you can find a list here:

Good luck! :)<

My up and down arrows as well as page up and page down no longer work properly only when using firefox. Page up and down function more like the "home" and "end" keys as do the arrow keys.

Honestly I'm not sure if these began just after I updated FF to the current release, but it's been happening for at least 2 weeks. The arrow keys and page up and page down keys all work as if I'm pressing the 'home' and 'end' keys on my keyboard. This is only when using FF. Please contact me if you need more clarification. Thanks in advance!

Sounds that you have switched on caret browsing.

'Home' and 'End' buttons don't work??

I am a new mac user...recently converted, so you guys might see my name coming up a lot in here...lol
So this 'home' and 'end' issue isn't just in Safari...it's on the iMac in general....even in TextEdit....
In Safari, for example, say I am typing a web address and I want to go back to the beginning by hitting the 'home' button (or even right now, I just made a typo, went back and fixed it and wanted to jump back to the end of the sentence using 'end'), but this doesn't work. Again, this is not just in Safari, but even in TextEdit...Please don't tell me iMac doesn't support the 'home' and 'end' functions...I will die! lol Okay, not die, but seriously, that will be a huge headache.
Thanks for any help!!!

Thanks for the and

In the current screen keyboard shortcuts, it says you can use "home" and "end" to go to the top and bottom of the screen. But it only works if I use Cntrl. Why?

I am not using Firefox 20 on a new Sony Tap 20 with a wireless VAIO keyboard. All other keyboard shortcuts appear to work as usual. With my old computer, I did not have to hit cntrl to use home and end. (And yes -- I checked -- my num lock key is off.

HT204291 After updating software on my Apple TV home sharing will not work. Both Apple TV and iMac have home sharing on but when Computer is selected on Apple TV I just get a message saying "turn home sharing on". But it is. How can I solve this problem

I have just updated the software on my Apple TV since then home sharing will not work though I had not used it since installing iOS6 on my iPad 3. Home sharing is shown to be on on the Apple TV and on on my iMac. The Apple TV is connected to the router with an ethernet cable and all functions work correctly apart from my computer.
I have done the following.
Switched off the Apple TV and rebooted, did the same with iMac
Turned off home sharing then turned it on.
Checked that home sharing is on on both devices.
Selected Computer
Get a message telling me to turn home sharing on - IT IS!
Tried using airplay mirroring on the iPad but the airplay function is missing from iPad.
It is so annoying since before iOS6 and updating the Apple TV software everything worked perfectly. Any help would be very gratefully received.
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
Here's how to do it:
1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
Enjoy!
