Title: Odd keymap with Leo -10
Post by: Jef on Mon, 24 October 2011, 13:37:14

Firstly, thanks for all the guidance. After mostly lurking for a year, I just got a Leopold Tenkeyless with Blues, and I'm loving it.

However, using PaintShop Pro, when I try to save a file, certain letters trigger changes in the program rather than enter the letter, as if the 'control' key was permanently pressed. That is, if I try to save a file and name it "Drawing C", instead of "C", it opens/closes the color control window.

Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this, or even better, knows of a solution.


Thanks,
Jef

Thanks for the suggestion. Naturally, I haven't been able to get it to do it again.

But if no one else has had this occur, then I can cross the keyboard off the list of suspects.

Are you running Windows? I've had it in this state before.  It's some kind of shortcut mode and I don't think it has anything to do with the keyboard per se.

Sadly I don't know how to get it back to normal short of rebooting.

Could it be that one of Paint Shop's hotkeys conflicts with the Windows hotkey to enter this mode?  Is the issue confined to within Paint Shop?

Sounds like Sticky Keys, the windows mode that basically makes your modifiers toggle keys. Check to see if that's turned on, maybe?

:roll:

Thanks for the suggestions.

I've been using this same version of PSP for ten years, so I don't think it's the program. I would have bumbled into it by now. :biggrin1:

Sticky Keys sounds like a possibility.
