Hi Tim, yep thanks tried that.  As I've just replied to Brian, it seems to
be particular programs that either don't like that right hand side combo or
they don't allow it somehow. Best Steve.

Hi Steve,

 

You could cheat a bit to find out what keys are what. Engage Jaws keyboard
help by pressing Insert+NumberRow1 then press each key on the keyboard. Any
silent keys are candidates for Fn keys that will act as additional
modifiers. Exit keyboard help by pressing Insert+1 again.

 

Best wishes.

 

Tim Burgess

Hi guys...anyone got any ideas why my new keyboard's right alt/control is
not working as expected?  this is the key to the right of the spacebar and
when I press it for an "alt+control" command, no go I'm afraid, it's not
executed or recognised or something.

 

I've tried with a couple of keyboard layouts, english and US international,
but still the same.  It's slowly driving me nuts, as it makes using these
keys a pain when I need to use keys on the left side...can't use the right
hand for modifiers.  It's not an expensive keyboard, £6 from Asda, but my
other died after some idiot knocked over a full mug of tea onto it...ummm,
that idiot was me!  Any help would help me sleep better :p, cheers Steve.
