Problem with keyboard shortcuts

[Skippyontoast]

I have had my custom mechnical keyboard for about 1.5 month now and I love it but I have some questions about some keyboard shortcuts. The keyboard I used before my custom one was a corsair k70 and with that I had no problem with the shortcuts but on this board they dont work.

The shortcut I want to use is ctrl+shift+esc to open the task manager but it doesnt work, and im also experiencing a problem when I do ctrl+a+backspace. If I hold ctrl and press backspace the text doesnt get deleted instead the cursor jump to the beginning of the text. I have tried my keyboard on another pc and then the backspace worked as it should but not the ctrl+shift+esc. I have a DZ65 PCB

Welcome to geekhack!

Sometimes the Escape key on a 60% board is setup as a dual use key so if you're using the standard firmware it could be that.  Download Aqua Key Test and press ctrl+shift+esc to see what the computer sees you pressing.

It's possible that backspace has similarly been remapped when you hold ctrl, or it could be due to number lock being on on one computer but not the other and a virtual numberpad setting...  Again, Aqua Key Test will reveal what keys you're pressing.

Assuming this finds strangeness it's just a matter of flashing firmware that does what you want.  Feel free to post what keys you see and a pic of your board if you need help with that

I seem to always miss the keyboard shortcut every time , like i cut instead of paste, no good tbh.. I'd prefer some macros please.

I looked into QMK configurator and realized that the esc has a multi function so when I replaced it with a normal esc the problem went away, but I still havent found a fix for the backspace.
