Want it change right shift key to be new paragraph

Hi, I want to change the function of the right shift key to oda new paragraph. I checked the users guide but it didn't answer my question.

The return key just above the right shift key stars a new paragraph. You'll have to be satisfied with that cause you cannot reprogram they keys.

HT5636 my right shift key was modified to open the Desktop. Now I want to restore it back to normal. How do I unsaying that key?

Last year I wanted to have a quick way to accessory Desktop. I modified the right Shift key to do this. Now I want to reverse that back to normal. I can't seem to find out how to do that (as I forgot how I did it in the first place).

Wireless Keyboard's left and right shift keys don't like some keys...

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a second hand 2009 Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with my iPad 32GB Wi-Fi.
When pressed by themselves, the keys all individually work - I've tested them all using my MacBook's Keyboard and Character Viewer. The problem is when I use either shift keys with the following keys:
123456789
qwertyuio
Now, the odd thing is, the left shift key won't wok with either of those lines but the right shift key will work with the letters but not the numbers.
Using sticky keys on my MacBook, I can get every single one of the numbers to give out their character (!@£ etc.) with the left and right shift keys. I've not got Mouse Keys turned on either (and I don't think there's an option to enable it on the iPad)
Also, the Shift keys work perfectly fine with all of the other keys on the keyboard so they aren't worn out.
Any ideas what could be making my keyboard this way..? Or should I send it back (if I can...)?
Thank you for your time!

ok so i've made a bit of progress on my own...
i've found the on-screen keyboard viewer (silly me, i was looking under "keyboard" in system preferences...) and this flashes with each key i press except the problematic left and right cursor keys.
moreover, if i click the left and right cursor keys on the on-screen keyboard, they behave as they should, moving my cursor left and right.
this is starting to look like a hardware fault but i'd love to be able to test outside of the OSX GUI to be really sure. is there any way i can do that. not sure i want to get the screwdriver out just yet...

Press Right Shift key using Robot

Hi,
I'm developing a small tool in Java where i need to simulate all keys of the Keyboard using Java Robot.
But, I could not find a way to simulate some Keys like "Right Shift" or "Right Alt" or "Right Control" etc..By default Robot simulates Left Shift.
Is there a way in Java's Robot to Specify the location of the Key that we want to press ?
Please post your thoughts and comments on this.
Thanks

Good you solved you problem -- but what "show desktop" shortcut are you talking about? The Desktop shortcut in Exposé is F11, has been for years. And how do you get the right shift key only in any shortcut?

Right shift key makes quotation mark

All of a sudden, when I hit my right shift key, I get a quotation mark. I haven't changed any settings and can't figure out why it's doing it.
Can anyone help?

Because for some reason the key is pressing on the switch of the key next to it (which is slash/questionmark).
Try flicking it with your finger. The one next to it as well.
If it doesn't work and you aren't affraid of damaging your keys, try popping off both keys (with a plastic knife or something similar) and see if maybe there's something lodged in there.

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

Spill has caused right shift key to be stuck on

A few months ago I spilled juice on my MBP keyboard (out of warranty - purchased June 2012). I removed all the keys effected and cleaned them. The result of this was that the right shift key was stuck on and it would only start in safe mode + I couldn't log in because I could only type in caps. This is what I did:
I plugged in a usb keyboard - was able to log in
I downloaded keyremapper4mac and disabled the right shift key so I could type in NOT CAPS
Switched to automatic login so I wouldn't be prompted to enter my password anymore
Removed the usb keyboard
Again, MBP would only start in safe mode. Then I found out that the key remapper would only work when the computer wasn't in safe mode. I did some googling and found a key combination that would stop the MBP from starting in safe mode. I have left my computer on for awhile now (not shutting it down) and yesterday I shut it down. I started it up holding down the cmd/shift and my login screen came up.
My problem is that I think I may have forgotten the key combination to bypass the safe mode boot up and I don't know why my login screen came up - maybe because of the key combo I used temporarily turned off the automatic login.
Does anyone know the combination of keys to press to get past the safe boot so my computer will start up normally? I am running 10.7.5.
Thanks!!

Someone else said to try and reboot by holding down the menu and play button on the remote for several seconds and then try again. It worked for several people and seems to be working for me now.

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.

Apple Keyboard Right Shift Key malfuntions

I use the Apple Keyboard. Today I found the the right Shift key does not function normally. For example when I press the right shift key, it has the same function as the Enter key; also when I press the right shift key and then an alphabet, the alphabet appears on the next line and it is capitalized. But if I press the the right shift key and then a punctuation, then the currently typing position becomes the next line while nothing appears. What is the problem with that button? How can it be fixed? Thanks.
One more extra question: I type something on the URL location that I wanna search something on the search engine. However when I press enter, a new window appears. It should have been appeared on the same tab that I'm using. How can I fix it? Thanks a lot.

X230 Right Shift Key Sticking

Title says it all. I can reproduce the issue 100% of the time.
* This is with the right shift key only.
* Starting about 1/4 of the way from the left of the key, I press down at the top of the key.
* While the key is pressed, I drag my finger down to the bottom of the key.
* When i release my finger, they key stays stuck.
I type a lot during the day and the issue usually comes up when I have to maintain the press for a few keystrokes and my pinky slides around a little on the shift key, causing it to remain stuck afterwards.
Anyone experience this issue? Workarounds, fixes?
Thanks,
Solved!

well I just popped the shift key off and inspected. Compared to the other shift key, listened to it closely, etc. Realized the left side of the metal clip was getting caught on something. Shined a flashlight on the chassis and could see where it was scrapping.
So I took the metal clip off the key and shortened the left side by a very small notch, put the clip back in the key, ran the clip through the holes for it on the chassis and reattached the key. Now there's no more scrapping sound, I can't reproduce the stuck-key issue, and it seems to work perfect now.
For anyone else reading this and looking to do the same, just take care with how much you take off the metal clip as too much would likely make it not stay in where it belongs in the chassis which would cause you to have to press in the center of the key to register a click.
I wouldn't recomment this on a brand new - in warranty computer. Better to let warranty resolve this.

Right shift key not working with middle row of letters

The right shift key on my Macbook Pro does not work with the middle row of letters. It works with all other letters and numbers, just not A-L. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, it just stopped capitalizing

Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.

If that does not work, test it using an external keyboard.

The OS is windows 8.0 Pro.
Anytime i press the right shift key or the Enter key, i get this context menu popping out, sometimes moving my cursor somewhere else and doing other crazy stuffs
Please what is wrong?

Might be a faulty keyboard or keyboard cable. Try reseating the keyboard?

Right shift key broken off

I have my right shift key broken off and dont know hot to put it back on. Please Help.

Trent,
Google this on how to reattach the key cap:
"iBook PowerBook key cap removal"
That first pdf is an excellent discussion of how the keycaps attach.
If it won't click back in look carefully at those tiny tabs they may be broken off.
There are many places to buy replacements.

Can't use my right shift key

Beginning a few days ago, my right Shift key will not let me capitalize letters. If the press the key, no letters are entered and the window becomes half bright. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how I can fix this?
Thanks so much.

if the left shift key works i would suspect a hardware problem with your keyboard. not something you can fix without getting a new keyboard. test it on a different keyboard if you can.
