View 2 Replies View RelatedI am completely stumped as my keyboard has gone haywire and am quite annoyed i cant fix itAm running windows 7 on toshiba satellite pro laptop and was wondering if its a software or perhaps hardware issue.Here is what is happening:- Caps lock light doesnt stay on anymore but it flashes when i press it. It does still work properly though- Left SHIFT key still works but when i press it.....it also creates this symbol ~ at the same time within UK keyboard. If i change to US keyboard then it enters the PIPE symbol.- The ~ key above the tab key actually does this And the pipe key which is above the Enter key types this: #7
View 5 Replies View RelatedJust reinstalled windows 7 this weekend together with new hardware. But i have encountered some problems, both with sound and keyboard. On my keyboard which is a Logitech Ultra X (Ultra X) i have some buttons at the top, like Media, play/pause, www, email and mute. These have been working earlier on both windows xp and vista, but now they are not working. Very frustrating as i use them very often.
Do any of you guys in here have any idea about how this may be fixed?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI thought this list of keyboard shortcuts from "The Lazy Admin" might be useful I didn't know half of these.
WIN + T – With the new taskbar and the way apps dock there, this shortcut will open the preview of each of the apps running in the taskbar. No need to hover the mouse over the taskbar any more!
Ctrl + Shift – This shortcut will launch any application that is docked on your taskbar with elevated privileges.
WIN + Space – This shortcut will make all windows transparent and allow you to see the desktop. Release it and return back to the current window.
WIN + P – Need to connect to a projector or external monitor on your notebook? This shortcut will do the trick! You can also use WIN + X to open the Mobility Center and do it from there too.
WIN + Home – Got a cluttered desktop? This shortcut will minimize all the windows on the desktop with the exception of the active one.
WIN + Arrows – There are a load of shortcuts that utilize the arrows. WIN + Right Arrow will dock the windows to the right while WIN + Left Arrow will dock it to the left. WIN + Up Arrow will maximize a window while WIN + Down Arrow will minimize it.
WIN + Shift + Arrow – In conjunction with #6 once you have the windows docked you can move them to other monitors in a multi monitor display. WIN + Shift + Right Arrow will move it to the right. I think you can figure out what the Left Arrow does!
WIN + +/- - OK I know I said seven but this one is cool too. WIN + + will zoom in and WIN + - zooms out!
There was a Windows gadget that opened and closed the CD/DVD drive. Is there a keyboard shortcut that does this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am curious to know if there is a keyboard shortcut like ALT + TAB that cycles through the windows of the active application only, similar to what Mas OS has with COMMAND + `.
I found a guide on this site, but it does not include that shortcut. It has ALT + ESCAPE which happens to cycle through all windows rather than just the active window. (Shortcut Keys for Windows 7[2]=Shortcuts).
That aside windows 7 is looking pretty good, since Apple decided my dual 2.0Ghz G5 is too old and not intel enough to run Snow Leopard I'm 99% sure I'm switching to a Windows 7 machine early next year. Anyway, that was unrelated, just had to rant about Apples contempt for its customers.
I have a bunch of useless keys on my keyboard that i dont use for anything. Is there a way i can set just those to run a program without using the annoying ctrl + alt combo?EX: i want to be able just to hit page up or page down or even pause/break to bring up the calculator or any program i set.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've recently had this problem where some keyboard shortcuts aren't working or are performing incorrect functions. For example, ctrl+alt+del does nothing, while ctrl+c, in Chrome, opens up the Chrome Elements tab. In fact, while typing this, my shift key has suddenly stopped working and actually prevents me from typing anything when it is held. I'm using caps lock to type capitals. Actually, it seems that some letters it works fine for (like "A"), but some letters (like "O"), it opens my Chrome bookmarks...and now shift plus C is opening that damn Chrome Elements. Shift i is doing that too.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen you right clic an app shortcut (or even a file, anything..) you can assign it a keyboard shortcut, for example i used maj+alt+s for launching steam. Now after you made a lot you might not remember them all after some time and it'll be nice if there's a place to see a list of them (in registry or elsewhere) instead having to check all your shortcuts..! I guess there is, but where?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently acquired a Win 7 PC. I installed a Razer Lycosa keyboard and found out quickly that the "show desktop" shortcut keys (Windows key +D) don't work. I also noticed if I happen to have a search box open, it will enter a D when I try to use the shortcut. This keyboard has worked fine on a XP machine. I also dowloaded the driver from the Razer site and installed it with no change.

I know this sounds pretty silly but ive been using this hotkey for years and have gotten very used to it and this new way is definately not as efficient!
I created an application keyboard shortcut and it worked one time then failed the second time I tried to use it. I've tried creating other shortcuts but none of them will work either. I have logged out and back in, restarted, shutdown and booted again. I am still unable to create a working shortcut. I've tried several key combinations thinking there may be a conflict.Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just noticed for the first time after 2+ years of using Windows 7.I have all sorts of shortcuts I use that are just stuck in my memory from older versions of Win. Right click + W + F = new folder.Right click + W + T = new text doc.I just noticed however, that in the right click menu, the shortcut letters aren't underlined anymore like they were in older versions.for example, New used to be written New. For me this is not a huge deal since I already know most of them but why would MS intentionally remove a helpful feature like that (especially while leaving the functionality in)? A new user will have no way of knowing that shortcut exists without seeing the underlined letters.The only reason I'm noticing now, after so long, is because I'm learning Ubuntu/Linux and noticed they do have the underlined letters in their GUI, and then coming back to Win I noticed they don't.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've read that the shortcut to access items in your task bar is windowkey + (1-9) depending on the placement of the app from the start button. I've tried it, but no luck. When I press the combination, nothing happens. Does this work for anybody else? Am I doing something wrong? I love the idea of this working, but it does me no good until I get some kinda success with it.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a keyboard that can pause/play and do volume control and it would rock if it had a button to change songs previous/next from WMP, even if the window isn't active. The question of the day is whether these functions integrated in my keyboard are shortcuts (that can be typed out) or something else. I would love to be able to control music without having to switch windows. If you're too lazy to type then please just copy and paste the URL of a page that might have a list of those keyboard shortcuts.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have quite a few input languages enabled on Windows 7 Ultimate and I want to navigate between them using keyboard shortcuts like I used to do on Windows XP. I know how to assign the shortcuts but the trouble is that all of the shortcuts keep getting reset every time I shut down the PC and after I log on again none of them work... I can of course go to Control Panel and assign the shortcuts again but it's a bit irritating when you have to do it for 8 languages every day.Oddly enough, the shortcuts for two of eight languages that I have are automatically restored when I go to this dialog box where shortcuts may be assigned — without me making any changes other than just clicking OK. So these two don't seem to be completely lost, it just seems that Windows 'forgets' about them until I open the dialog box with the shortcut assignments.
