Shift key and ctrl keys not working correctly...

both rt/lt shift keys are making symbols ⁄€‹›ﬁﬂ‡ÎÔÇÂ´ instead of caps and my ctrl key asks me if i really want to shut down my computer. i'm really hoping this is an easy fix but can't find anything in forums. if additional information is needed please let me know. HELP PLEASE

Hi, Chris. I don't know of any. If there were a way, I'm sure it would require that all the keys be working properly, which yours aren't. You've got crossed wires somewhere, and you're going to need a replacement keyboard.

Want to switch the position for the Fn key and Ctrl key~~ very annoying

I got my W520 CTO for about two weeks, I hate the keyboard design.
I don't understand why Lenovo engineers change the positions of
Fn key and Ctrl key! So unprofessional..
For most keyboards, the Ctrl Key is at most bottom-left, which
is convenient for the little finger.
Ctrl key is so often used (especially for programmer) such that
it should be easily pressed using litter finger.
Fn key is seldom used (unless for projector, adjust brightness
as such).
I am thinking to change the position of the two keys, does Lenovo
provide this service?

I prefer Ctrl on the inside; it's closer to the pinky. Also more comfortable for FPS's as you can curl the pinky and hit it with the back rather than the front.

Copy and paste buffers not working correctly in iOS 8.1m

Both iPads2's in my family arsenal are exhibiting what I believe to be a bug in the iOS8.1 (perhaps corrected by 8.1.1?), in the cut/copy & paste buffer stack.
When invoking the operation to copy and paste data from one application to another, the paste action consistently selects the previous (e.g., stack level 2 rather than 1 or Top) data as what is to be pasted.
In other words, if you have used the copy and paste routine twice, the second pasting will supply one with the paste data from the first operation, rather than the desired data from the second copy and paste operation.
Copy and paste appears to work correctly from within a single application, but consistently fails when copying data from one application to another.
Does anyone know of a work-around for this bug? Is it a bug that others have identified? Is there a new selection filter menu option for copy and paste operations, and what method is used to invoke the menu?
I hope this is addressed soon, as I use Cut/Copy & Paste operations extensively (I've already had Carpal Tunnel Release surgery once and don't relish a repeat performance, no matter how successful the first was in correcting the damage).
Any clues as to what's going on here?
thanks in advance,
labernache

All you can do is simply see if iOS 8.1.1 helps you with this. With some people it has, and others it has not. I would also recommend doing a clean install of your system, too.
Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

Actions and Advanced Actions not working correctly. - Captivate 8

In our project, we have it set so that after every section the student is asked three quiz questions (they are set on the default quiz slides.) On success, the person jumps to the next question slide. On failure, the person goes to next slide which has two buttons - one that allows them to simply move forward to the next quiz question and one that allows them to go back and review. The "Go back and Review" button takes the person back to the specific content slide that contains the answer to the question they are being asked. This button is set to advanced actions "Jump to Slide ..." and "Show Button..." - The button is a 'Return to Quiz' button to allows the person to find the answer then try the question again. I know that the buttons on the default quiz slides cannot be programmed to do a specific action, but every time we click 'Submit' it seems fine until we click 'Next' to move ahead, it then routes us back to one of the content slides (Slide 7) instead of the next slide (if wrong), or the next question slide (if right). I have looked at the Advanced Interactions Window and there is nothing linking this slide to anything. I have not had this problem with any of our other modules or sections. I have tried creating new question slides and it did not work. I deleted Slide 7 and it worked fine the first time through the preview, but then when I viewed the preview again, it started jumping back and would not even let me get to the questions. Can anyone help?

Normally the Next button on a question slide is not needed, because it has the functionality of Skipping the question. It is however needed if you want to allow Review.
Another explanation is that you did change the normal work flow for a question slide, where a two-step process for submitting will take automatically the user to the next slide.
Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog
What did you do to need the Next button? If the user submits:
Feedback appears with the indication to press Y or to click on the slide, happens at the pausing point of the Question slide (default is 1.5secs)
When user presses Y or clicks, the actions Success/Last Attempt are executed if all attempts are exhausted, and you have only 1 attempt on Question level: the actions are by default Continue, but you can change it to 'Go to Next Slide' to shorten the waiting time (or drag the pausing point closer to the end of the slide).
What did you change?

Wep key and wpa does not work.

I'm trying to set up security for my router using wep or wpa but everytime I set it up, my key does not work. The router is suddenly disabled. I did exactly as the how to setup wireless security said. do u have to hard reset to get it to work. I've been trying to set security for three days. Your help is appreciated.

First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
For WEP, you must enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into your computer, not the WEP password or passphrase.
For WPA or WPA2, enter the key (sometimes called password or passphrase) into your computer.
Note that for WPA or WPA2, use "personal", not "enterprise".
Also, nomenclature sometimes causes problems. Note the following:
WPA = WPA with TKIP = PSK
WPA2 = WPA with AES = PSK2
Also note that Windows XP requires SP3 to run WPA2 ( = WPA with AES).
Also, each time you try a new encryption method, you must remove old settings from your computer. To do this, do the following:
In the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. You should connect automatically (it can take up to two minutes). If you still have trouble, in the computer, temporarily turn off your computer software firewall, and see if that helps.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.

E72 - Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V not working in browser

yesterday i updated my nokia e72 mobile to latest firmware 31 , after that Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V and Ctrl+A shortcut keys are not working in browser. which have made me feel as bad as typing the same text again and again (usfel in blogging or web messaging).
ALthough these shortcut keys are working in notes and sms application, but not in browser and Quick office applications (word, ecxel etc).
Can some one tell , how to fix it. or do i need to wait for next firware update. firmware 31 was released on 31 of march 2010. and today is 26th of May. almost two months have passed, and nokia has not yet released patch for this bug ....
Nokia, how long i need to wait ?, for this bug fix release.

(Had to edit because didn't read previous post clearly.)
I originally thought this was a problem of Quick office 6.2.217 Nokia_S603.2. I think it is a Nokia firmware problem as the previous post had stated.

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.

Message editor bug: Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y not working

Hi!
I am writing a reply, where I am inserting a lot from Word-documents and web-pages.
When I pressed Ctrl-Z, a large block of text, including an inserted quote, disappeared, and when I pressed Ctrl-Y it did NOT reappear, so there must be a bug or two in the message editor.
I am not sure what else to tell about it, but it's kind of shocking.
I have noticed before, that when you use Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y the editor-window does not scroll up and down to show you WHERE you are undoing/redoing something. That is also quite confusing!
And BTW: When you mark something, there is no cursor, to tell you if you are at the end of one line or at the beginning of the next. That is also quite annoying.
Best regards,
Henrik R.

When you insert your word document are you using Paste without formatting (Ctrl+Shift+V).
All bets are off if your pasting the horribly contaminated data from a Microsoft office document without using a text only filter. It is an unfortunate fact of life that an email containing text pasted from Microsoft word can cause a virus alert due to it's internal references to OCX controls.
It also contains complex data structures that are only meaningful to Microsoft office. However they are more than enough to scramble other editors as they often do not form valid HTML. Just another occurrence of Microsoft "innovating"

Spry Vertical Menu and sub menus not working correctly

I am designing a website for a client and cannot get the spry vertical menu and submenus to work correctly. The submenus will show on the index.html page, but not on any other pages, or when I preview in browser. Should I make it a library item then add it to the other pages? I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I appreciate your help!

My phone is so slow won't download any apps and data is not working correctly

I have the moto e with straight talk

Hi
This is not a Firefox thing, but there are some general housekeeping activities you can do to make your telephone run much easier.
First of all, uninstall any apps and widgets you do not need. It is amazing how they can clutter up your phone! In the app drawer, long press on an app or widget and drag it to the uninstall option at the top of the screen.
So you have a sizeable SD card in your phone? If so, in Settings app , scroll down to Storage and tap "Move media". As it says on the menu, this will move your media files to your memory card, thus freeing up space on your phone.
Before you leave Storage, scroll up a little and tap on "Cached Data" and selected to clear the cached data.
In Settings>Apps, scroll across to "On SD Card" and tick a few boxes to move some of your apps to your memory card. (Note: With some apps, this may mean that any accompanying widgets will not work, this is a bug with Android).
Once finished, turn off your phone and turn it back on again and you should find your phone has quite a bit more space and is running a bit quicker.

Ctrl C and Ctrl V not working

I can't cut and paste using Ctrl C and Ctrl V--in any of the applications that I use on my MacBook Pro. I know it's probably pilot error, but I looked in preferences, and couldn't figure out what I've done...would appreciate any guidance. Thanks so much.

You are thinking Windows which uses Ctrl C and Ctrl V.

Shift key and ellipse tool not working

Can't make a perfect circle in CS5 using shift key. Anyone else having this problem?

Order,
If the Type remains unchanged when selected, you seem to need to both Show Edges and Show Bounding Box under View. You should be able to move it though. Otherwise, something else is wrong.
