Shortcuts with right CTRL instead of left

Few days ago I've noticed some keyboard short-cuts are no longer working with left CTRL key
CTRL+x, CTRL+w, CTRL+f work only with right CTRL
CTRL+s, CTRL+a, CTRL+c work properly with left CTRL
The problem occurs in XFCE and in text mode.
I haven't changed any configuration files.
Any ideas how to make short-cuts work again with left CTRL?

Seems like a keyboard hardware problem. Test it using "showkey" : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex … board_Keys

REQUEST: Switch LEFT Fn key with RIGHT Ctrl key for GX740?

Hello Svet, is it possible to switch the LEFT Fn key with my RIGHT Ctrl key on the GX740? I can say I never touched the right Ctrl key and having both Ctrl keys side by side on the left of the keyboard will make it infinitely easier to hit any one of the Ctrl keys when gaming.

I think what he means is, that where most people want the two [Fn] and [Ctrl] keys swapped on the left of the spacebar, he wants the [Fn] key swapped with the [Ctrl] key to the right of the spacebar instead.
(Off-topic: one thing I do like with my Wind U135DX, is that there is a second [Fn] key on the right-hand side of the keyboard , but I never had a problem with the [Fn] and [Ctrl] keys needing to be swapped, I just got used to it instead )

Opening bins on Right Monitor instead of Left Monitor

I have a dual monitor set up.
On my right screen all I have is The Source and Program Monitors as well as the Timeline.
My Left monitor has the Browser which holds all my Bins, Folders and Footage.
I mad a few bins in the Browser and when I double click one to open it, it opens on the Left Monitor and I have to drag it over to the Right Monitor. I want them to open on the Right Monitor so I don't have to drag them over.
Is there a setting somewhere that I can make this happen?
Thanks in Advance.

The only was I know of is to move your Project pane over to that monitor.
I'm curious why you'd want this though. Seems the common layout is monitors and timeline on the right, with bins and effects on the left.

When hover to see location of link, the view of that is now on right side instead of left, would like to have it on left of page, and bigger if possible.

Hi again,
Using FF 4.. For some reason the way that ff shows the resultant url location while hovering, has moved from the lower left of my screen to the lower right.
After updating to FF 4 earlier today..it was showing on the left, now is on the right ..and I would like to move it back to the left, but I don't know how
It's important to me for safe browsing to clearly be shown where a link will bring me. It is no longer bolded as it was in prior versions... Is there a way to make a stand out more as well?
Thank you!

I found that doing a search on the current page (Edit : Find) causes the search bar to appear at the bottom, and the hover link will switch to the right side. Close the search bar and it goes back to the left.

My text I am writing in an e-mail has suddenly gone to right alignment instead of left. How do I get back?

How I re-align margin on an e-mail. The usual format header is not there

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Is there a way to switch the right Ctrl with the mouse's rick click tab in the new X1 carbon?

Hi,
I just bought my new X1 Carbon and I was looking for a way to have the tab with the right click function (generally it is showed as a small window with the mouse arrow on it in bigger keybords) instead of the right ctrl button.
Thank

You should be able to do that with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/710/ Menu Editor] add-on.

Suddenly with version 9 and 10 i cant use the shortcut command of ctrl+shift+t to open the most recently closed tab.

Suddenly with version 9 and 10 i cant use the shortcut command of ctrl+shift+t to open the most recently closed tab. a feature used several times a day, previously. This is very Frustrating to me, i have tried looking up a tool keyconfig 20110522 and looked that it says that ctrl+shift+t is the right command, but i still cant use it WHY oh WHY?? if i could get some help figuring this out it would be so awesome, cause i love Firefox, been using it almost daily for the last 10 or so years and i don't intend to switch soon.

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.] This is a temporary diagnostic session and you can exit anytime and start Firefox normally again. This session disables all the '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') and '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''.

Why does my text in Indesign start on the right side instead of the left?

I have done something to the newsletter that I am working on, but I don't know what I did.
Whenever I try to write a caption on a picture or try to type a piece of text for the newsletter, the cursor starts on the right side instead of the left and makes weird spacing and never lines up correctly.
The only way I can get text to work now is to use a snipping tool and snip text from another program!

With just the text tool selected, but no text boxes selected (or made), any change to the style of paragraphs or fonts etc is 'set' for the document. If you have clicked on the right alignment tool with nothing selected, then everything from then onwards will default to right align.
If every document you've worked on is doing this, then open InDesign with no document open (so just the panels showing, but no file/doc open) and select left align with the text tool in use. Any setting made with InDesign like this, is default for any new document created. Colours, alignment, optical kerning, fonts, sizes, leading etc etc changed in this state, is the new default.

Discerning between left and right ctrl key(events)

I hope this is possible. If yes just point me in the right direction if too complex to explain in a couple a lines.
Thanks in advance

I could be wrong but I don't think you can. In Java,
both left and right ctrl keys produce the same key
code (17). It used to be that these two keys
were 'hardwired' to the same function on the keyboard
but I'm not sure if this has changed..I don't think so.
No, I don't think it's possible.... besides, from a
user interface point of view, why would you want to do
that? Do you know any piece of software that does it?jaffab is right, Client Access for AS/400 makes a distinction between the left and right control keys, as do a number of games.
Unfortunately, the java AWT doesn't :-(
I would tentatively suggest that it would be possible, using JNI, but I imagine it wouldn't be simple to get a key listener set up in C/C++ that would trigger a java event - being the only way I can think of to differentiate between left and right control keys.
Given its infeasibility, I'd recommend having the control key do absolutely nothing - far easier to recover from, especially since reset and enter are such diametrically opposed functions!
Heh, you could always pop up a message box if they press and release control without pressing another key between, saying what to press for reset or accept, respectively :-)
-Troy
Random trivia - I think the default set up in Client Access is like that because on the original keyboards used with the green screens, the keys in those corners were reset and enter! Users who had gotten used to typing without looking at the keyboard wanted the functions in the same place, rather than on the keys with the same name.
IBM never has been happy doing things the same way as everyone else - database 'tables' are called 'files', 'schemas' are 'libraries'... trying to teach Java to one of the ILE/RPG programmers here, and we still have trouble with the english language differences, trying to explain what the programming language is doing!
Well, that certainly wasn't the few-line post it was supposed to be...

Globally map Ctrl B and ctrl F to left and right arrow keys, respectively

Does anyone know how I would *globally* map Ctrl + B and ctrl + F to left and right arrow keys, respectively? This keystroke works for some applications, but not all. I'd like it to always work.

So, it is now June and still no fix. This is incredibly annoying when you are giving a professional presentation in front of an audience and the speaker wants to go back a slide. It's enough to change presentation software.
In truth, the Presentation Module in LR5 is vastly inferior to other dedicated software. For instance, you can't add a text slide as a divider between "chapters," as far as I can figure out, you can't merge slideshows or go from one to another without exposing your entire screen, the order of slides is over-ridden by some predetermined metadata rather than being able to choose two catalogs and put them into one slideshow, deciding yourself which catalog should play first.
Are any of these changes in the works?
Any eta on the right/left arrow fix?
This could be SO great. I hope it is moving in that direction.

CS5.5: keyboard shortcuts: CTRL+ALT and problem with ALT+CTRL

The problem concerns the CS5.5 version of InDesign on Win7. Incorrect work-based keyboard shortcuts: CTRL+ALT+?? (system shortcuts and self defined, eg paragraph style). We have to remember to press the keys in order: CTRL+ALT+??. Ordering: ALT+CTRL+?? (vice versa to CTRL+ALT) will freeze the program on the selection on drop down menu (File, Edit etc.) and inability to perform any other function with the keyboard. This is a bug, or might be changed?
If we use shortcuts eg: SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+??, we must remember to first release the ALT key and then the rest. Otherwise, InDesign hang in drop down menu...

Welcome to the forum!
It sounds like you've inadvertently turned on the Sticky Keys accessibility feature. Since you didn't mention which operating system you're using, I can't tell you how to turn it off. Trying searching for Sticky Keys in Help in the Start button menu.
Hope this helps!

Ship Quick Drop Object Shortcuts with LabVIEW

In my daily work, I'd guess that over 90% of the time I drop something with Quick Drop, I use an object shortcut name ('cs' for Case Structure, 'rn' for Property Node, etc.):
You can configure object shortcuts by clicking the Configure button in the Quick Drop window. I've often suggested that people download and use my Quick Drop Palette Object Shortcuts for Right-Handed Developers to be able to drop most objects without ever having to move the left hand from the keyboard and the right hand from the mouse.
But in order for you to benefit from having object shortcuts, you either need to (1) create your own or (2) download mine from the link above. Neither of these options are particularly discoverable, nor do they make it easy to get started with the feature.
I propose that NI start shipping a pre-defined set of Quick Drop object shortcuts with LabVIEW so that everybody can have access to them from the start.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />
