A customer keyboard 'left shift' and 'right shift' keys are not working as a shift key. I checked the registry and there's no remap for those keys. This is what happens when I click shift. Those logs are from the software keyscancodes
OnKeyDown, Key code=20, Control keys=, Key name CAPS LOCK
OnKeyDown, Key code=114, Control keys=, Key name F3
OnKeyDown, Key code=83, Control keys=, Key name s
OnKeyPress s
OnKeyup, Key code=20, Control keys=, Key name CAPS LOCK
OnKeyup, Key code=114, Control keys=, Key name F3
OnKeyup, Key code=83, Control keys=, Key name s
This is really messed up, right? The 'right shift' key is also messed up. The virtual keyboard shift keys from windows are working, maybe because the scancode is different. The computer is a dell laptop. The problem started yesterday. ideas on how to fix this?
thx
CAPS LOCK
,F3
andS
keys are "pressed" instead? So, if you opened notepad and pressedSHIFT
, theCAPS
light would come on, a capitalS
would be printed and a search would be redone (F3
in notepad is the shortcut for 'search again') ... or is it that the scan codes being reported are just different than what is expected?
