Shift + t doesn't work!

on my macbook white (MacBook 5,2 Mac OS X 10.6.3) when i use 'shift + t' , it doesn't work. it suppose to make the 't' capital but it doesn't happen. nothing happens on using 'shift+t'.
there is no problem with the hardware/keyboard as 'shift+any other key' works fine. there is no difference between the left and right shift key. this problem is application independent, meaning the problem is present in all the programs.
If have to type capital 't' then i have to use the caps lock.
Kindly look into this matter and help me out.

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

  • 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.

  • I updated to maverick, and maybe it's a coincidence but my left shift key doesn't work unless i really press it down.  Is there any way to fix this without bringing it into the Genius Bar?

    Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
    SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
    '''''Address Bar Search'''''
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
    Does that work?
    '''''Search Box'''''
    Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
    Do either of those work?
    There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

  • My shift key doesn't work to pick up multiple files

    My shift Key does not work when used to collect multiple files.

    Not if they are sequential, which is what the OP seems to want.

  • Left Shift - w doesn't work

    I'm unable to get a capital w when I use the left shift key. I am able to capitalize every other letter with the left shift key and I can get a capital W with the right shift key and the caps lock button. Anybody have a similar experience or have any recommendations to fix this?

    Go to the System Preferences->International->Input Menu and check the box "Keyboard Viewer" option. Also check the box at the bottom which says "Show input menu in menu bar". Now, access the Keyboard Viewer from the input menu in the menu bar (it looks like a little flag representing the language you are using) so that it displays a pictorial representation of your keyboard.
    With the Keyboard Viewer open try typing the 'W' and left 'shift' key combination together and observe whether the corresponding keys on the Keyboard Viewer highlight. This can help you determine whether you have a software issue, or whether your keyboard is not working correctly. I suspect software since the shift key seems to work with all of the other keys.
    Is it possible that somebody accidentally set a 'Keyboard shortcut" in the keyboard preferences under the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' tab? If in doubt try pressing the 'Restore Defaults" button within the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences to see if that helps.

  • [Solved] Shift key doesn't work correctly

    Hi!
    I have a strange problem for a while. If I hold down the shift key and type the computer releases it itself. Example: I press down the shift key and type some upper case chars and suddenly I am writing lower case chars without releasing the shift key! I already tested another keyboard and nothing changed. And I have the feeling that the problem only occurs with Linux, not with Windows, which is installed on the same computer. But I dont know for sure, because I don't spent mach time with windows ;-)
    Here is my xorg.conf:
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "nvidiacard"
    Driver "nvidia"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "screen0"
    Device "nvidiacard"
    EndSection
    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Builtin Default Layout"
    Screen "screen0"
    EndSection
    And this is my /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
    <deviceinfo version="0.2">
    <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
    <merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">base</merge>
    <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to
    keyboard otherwise). -->
    <merge key="input.xkb.model" type="string">keyboard</merge>
    <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
    string="Linux">

    Before that I had a static configuration with the same problem. Any idea?
    Thanks,

    Okay, the question if the problem occurs in console was good - no it doesn't!
    I played a bit and started X11 with only xterm (no windowmanager) and there
    were no problem. I had also no problem with openbox and xterm. So I moved
    away my xfce-config and started with a clean one. No problem. I add
    everything of my config again (one thing after another) - and there are no
    problems any more!?!? Don't know what happened, but I could work again,
    thank you!

  • Ctrl + Shift + T doesn't work anymore. History -- Recently Closed Tabs still works. Other hotkeys still work.

    I am using Nightly-Elm 21.0a1 Recently Ctrl + Shift + T stopped working. History --> Recently Closed Tabs still works. Other hotkeys also still work.
    I already tried Safe Mode, didn't work. In a new profile it does work.
    This guy (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/853883) seemed to have the same problem. The solution offered was to transfer some files from a fresh profile. I am not sure what files to transfer. I tried the prefs.js, but that didn't help.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Right shift key doesn't work after BIOS update on Satellite A200-28P

    For some reason, after I upgraded my Bios, my right shift key doesnt work and neither does my FOUR and SIX button, hence why i have written in words :(,
    I tried reinstalling windows, hasnt made a difference.
    I tried rolling back the drivers for the keyboard, as well as changing to the US version of the keyboard, nothing has helped.
    Thanks

    okay first problem is, my warranty was due to expire, so i brought an extension, and nothing has happened whatsoever on those regards, secondly, i ran a keyboard test, and i found out that it wasnt only the four six and right shift key which was now no longer working, but also the f2, f10, f11, f12,
    I have used a external keyboard, which works :D but it annoying to use that when the whole point of a laptop is to have the inbuilt keyboard,
    any suggestions on this

  • Ctrl + Shift + T doesn't work

    I am using the new Firefox Developer Edition as a stand-alone on Ubuntu, so I can still use the "old" version, too.
    Everything seems to be working fine, as in I am logged in and setup sync.
    However, I cannot re-open a closed tab with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + T, nothing happens when I try.
    When I click on "About Firefox Developer Edition", it shows these details:
    Firefox
    Developer Edition

    Firefox Developer Edition is up to date

  • Shift key doesn't select blocks of files.  Even after clean install of mavericks in case it was old snow leopard problem.  Can only select individual files

    Hi for a few months my shift key stopped allowing me to select blocks of files and worked like the cmd key selecting just individual files.   Apple store sold me a. New keyboard when I connected it first time it worked. But after shutting down mac it never worked again.   Have just performed clean install of new mavericks as I was told it must be the permissions or other account settings etc.    But 2 days later after lots of work shift still doesn't work.  Every now and then it would work once and then. Not again.  I work with photos a lot and only being able to choose individual files is a nightmare.  Can anyone explain this problem.?

    I installed mavericks from a USB and reformatted the hd.  I set up a new user account added email, apple ID  etc and then downloaded new iPhoto and iMovie.  I manually copied documents, music inc itunes library folder and photos from time machine back up.   I also copied original apps only using migration assistant to get idvd and garageband back as despite a lot of searching i couldnt find a way to selectively reinstall original apps not purchased from app store.  Only third party apps are photoshop elements 9 and office 2011.

  • Creating a new library with 'Shift/Start iTunes' doesn't work

    I'm trying to start a new library, but pressing Shift when I start itunes doesn't work. It takes me to my existing library.
    I've uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled, and completely deleted any other libraries.
    Any ideas how I can start a new library any other way?

    Thanks, that didn't work the first time but did work the second.
    Perhaps I wasn't holding the shift key long enough - you presumably must keep holding it until the 'choose library' dialog actually pops up. I was releasing it after I'd clicked the 'start itunes' button.
