1. Re: Keyboard strange acting
P Spier Apr 2, 2009 1:17 PM (in response to Bullitt667)Any chance you have multiple languages enabled? I seem to recall that the shortcut for switching languages by default is the same as one of the commonly used shortcuts in ID. This used to cause no end of trouble in school where they had English and French enabled on the student newspaper machines.

Joel Cherney Apr 2, 2009 4:20 PM (in response to Bullitt667)Yeah, the Windows shortcut for switching languages is left control + shift. So, it's not an ID shortcut by itself, but chances are that you're going to use control + shift all the time in ID if you use keyboard shortcuts with any frequency. -
3. Re: Keyboard strange acting
[Jongware] Apr 3, 2009 1:50 AM (in response to Bullitt667)I have this routine check on freshly installed systems. Whack the left shift key five times, fast -- if any of the so-called "Smart" keyboard extensions are active, it'll pop up a configuration dialog. It has about 5 or 6 options -- just disable all of them.
In compliance with other parts of the OS, the keyboard language toggle setting is hidden somewhere else. I think if it's enabled it should show a little national flag in the system tray, and you can double-click this to configure. -

P Spier Apr 3, 2009 3:51 AM (in response to Bullitt667)I use Ctrl + Shift about a million times a day while scaling pictures. My memory is we had to a actually go in and DISABLE the second language (which we didn't need, fortunately) because even TELLING Windows to disable the shortcut wasn't good enough. Good old Microsoft.
