Right shift not separate from left shift?

I'm trying to use the Java emulator on www.virtualsupernes.com, and in the controls, it has the "select" button mapped to the "Right Shift" key. HOwever, when I hit the right shift button on my keyboard, it acts as though I didn't press anything. As of now the site does not allow for remapping of controls.
Is there a way to create the equivalent of right-shift on the Mac?
I have tried ctrl-shift, cmd-shift, alt-shift, fn-shift, and making a custom shortcut, none of which have yielded any results.

I don't know. What I do know is that the two shift keys on the MBP keyboard send different codes, so it should be possible.
You need to understand how the Java code is interacting with the keyboard, at what level it interprets the key codes. If it takes what the keyboard layout sends it, then all the combinations and shortcuts you tried are in vain, because all the layouts I'm familiar with treat both shift keys as one.
In the mean time, you could try Takayama Fumihiko's KeyRemap4MacBook
<http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/>
or try to make your own layout with Ukelele

I've never had to deal with this kind of issue before, so I don't know if either can help you.

  • Caps lock and shift not recognized from a usb or virtual keyboard on the Mac

    Caps lock and shift not recognized from a usb or virtual keyboard on the Mac client.   You have to use the native keyboard or bluetooth keyboard.

  • TS3276 My junk mail does not separate from my inbox.

    I set up my email and unlike my old Mac, the junk mail does not separate from the inbox.  Meaning it doesn't just go right to the Junk folder.  How do I get it to separate?  I use Gmail.
    Also, how do I get my gchat to show up in my messages app?  I have it set up but it doesn't show my connections
    thanks

  • Anchor in Safari is not working from left to the right (visa versa) other browsers are working corectly with this!

    Hi,
    The Safari anchor problem is back! But now for using an anchor from the left to the right and visa versa (it is for a website design).
    Apple solved the problem for using the anchor from the top to bottom and bottom to top but NOT from the left to the right and right to the left.
    I test it in several browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, IE8, even in IE7 is it working ;-) but not The Safari of the Big Apple!!!
    You can test it here: http://www.douma.biz/anchor_problem_safari/
    I put a little script in it so it is going smooth to the right and left. It is also not working without the script, so that is not the problem.
    You can test it in: Firefox, IE8, IE7, Chrome, Opera etc. But Safiri is it not working!
    So can somebody help me? I tried the max-height, max-width, with and without overflow-x hidden, etc etc. but it is still not working in Safari.
    Best regards,
    Stephanie

    Is it again a bug???

  • 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.

  • Left Shift Key Remapped, How?

    MacBook Air running OS X.
    Left shift key when depressed remaps my keyboard, how can I get it to not do this?  Example below:
    Right Shift Key - ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ?><
    Left Shift Key -   ÅıÇÎ´Ï˝ÓˆÔÒ˜Ø∏Œ‰Íˇ¨◊„˛Á¸¿¯˘
    Help please.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Left Shift-I Non-Functional

    Strangest thing. Left Shift-I does not register, not even in Keyboard Viewer on an Intel iMac. Right Shift-I works, and left Shift with any other key works. Tried checking they keyboard mapping and all the suggestions in the Help. Rebooted. Running 10.6.8.
    Anything to try before an OS re-install?

    I think I found the issue.
    I opened the Keyboard Viewer and it looked like the down arrow key was stuck down, although mechanically it felt ok. I tapped it hard a few times and the screen showed it was unstuck. After that, Shift-I is working.
    Very strange.

  • Right shift and c not working, Left shift and c works fine for a capital c

     I have a Lenovo G560 laptop. Had this problem once before and computer tech fixed problem, but moved cities. Worked fine but recently had a windows update. Now when I press the right shift key and c nothing happens. Left shift and c displays a capital c. How do I restore the right shift c ?

    hi richiestac,
    You can try to remap the Right Shift Key so that it will function as Left Shift using Sharpkeys.
    To do this:
    1. Download and install Sharpkeys
    2. Open Sharpkeys, click on Add and on the Map this key (From Key) , select the Right Shift key, then on the To this key (To key), select the Left Shift key.
      - Link to picture
    3. When finished, click Write to Registry and reboot.
    As for the display driver installation, you need to uninstall first any signs of Intel HD Graphics from the Control Panel (Icon View) > Programs and Features. After that, open Device Manager > Display Adapters and uninstall the Intel Graphics (ensure you put a check on Delete the driver software for this device and try to re-install the Intel Onboard Graphics Driver.
    Alternatively, you can skip all the procedures above and just press the OneKey Recovery button to restore the system to factory settings (note that all data will be wiped on the OS partition).

  • How to shift Negative sign from Right to left

    Hi friends,
    please tell me How to shift Negative sign from Right to left for quan data type i am getting on right side but i want to display it on left exactly preceding my output number display.

    hi yogesh
    check this function module..
    <u><i><b>CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT</b></i></u>
    this will move the negative sign from the left hand side of a number, to the right hand side of the number. Note that The result will be left justified (like all character fields), not right justifed as numbers normally are.
    chck this example..
    data: a1 type i value 56 ,
    a2 type i value 60,
    res type i.
    res = a1 - a2.
    data: res1(10).
    res1 = res.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'
    CHANGING
    VALUE = res1
    write res1.
    I<u><i><b>MPORTANT</b></i></u>
    You can use this FM CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT.
    But you need to declare the amount field as char.
    Or you can code like this
    data int type i.
    data char(10).
    int = -4.
    int = int * -1.
    write int to char.
    concatenate '-' char into char.
    reward if useful..

    Hi,
    Follow this,
    Import the PAR file into NWDS, the PAR you have downloaded is correct one, Now in the JSP folder, find ToolAreaView.JSP file, now find following lines of code in that JSP file
    <DIV id="GroupElements" class="prtlToolAreaTaskCompAlign">
                        <TABLE border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" >
                             <TR>
    After this TR , add following code :
    <td width="750">& nbsp;</td>
    Thats it. With this your search field will be moved to right totally.

  • 3 letters + left shift key not working - 2 of them + right shift key working

    Hi all,
    as in subject, I have just bought a laptop g50-45, italian keyboard.
    I encountered this problem:
    "LEFT shift key" + "e" or "d" or "c" combinations do not work. Nothing happens.
    "RIGHT shift key" + "e" or "d" work properly
    "RIGHT shift key" + "c" do not work. Nothing happens
    CAPS key + "e" or "d" or "c" work properly.
    I noticed this issue before making any updates of  windows 8.1
    I tried making an update of the bios and later updating windows but the problem is still there.
    I check with an external keyboard and everything work correctly
    I don't think it could be a mechanical problem because "e", "d" and "c" keys alone work properly, so it seems more a software side problem.
    Thank you for your help.

    thanks, i thought there some quick procedure to do before heading to apple store. i was just wondering, it was working for a while, and then suddenly like that. i have macbook 10.6.8 software. intel core 2 duo. less than a year old, if i'm not mistaken.

  • Hi, I am working in saudi arabia and willing to buy an iphone 5. But next year I will shift to India permanently. So my query is whether I would purchase apple applications from India or not once I left the purchased country of origin?

    Hi, I am working in saudi arabia and willing to buy an iphone 5. But next year I will shift to India permanently. So my query is whether I would purchase apple applications from India or not once I left the purchased country of origin?
           Also here though face time is banned by law, one of the biggest authorized dealer (Jarir bookstore) of apple products sells unloced iphone/ipad versions with face time enabled. So shall I use this function out side of saudi arabia, i.e. in India?

    Wait and purchase the whole phone from India if you are going to be permanently based there.  There are no usage restrictions in the same way that there are in Saudi.
    Just wait.

  • My 27" iMAC is less than 3 month old. Many times regardless of what application I am in the screen will start shifting  back and forth left to right. Then I can't do anything until the screen stabilizes. This takes anywhere from 5 to 25 secs. Any ideas?

  • Why does my Menu Bar is scrolling from left to right when I call it and not stabilizing?

    I have an an XP Windows system and I use Firefox as my default Browser, I suddenly found that my browaer is hit by something that makes the Menu Bar when I try to use it scrolling all menus from left to right so quickly that I can't point to any choice and keep doing this till I end it by mouse, also the information in the Autocomplete are not accessible as they don't show when trying to get them either by mouse or by the down key. I don.t know what to do putting in consideration that I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and this did not solve the problem.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
