![]() ![]() ![]() I hated that it had only USB-C ports, and I imagined myself in dongle hell each time I needed to connect a standard USB-A cord or an HDMI cable. The keyboard was awful-the same “butterfly switch” model that would soon become notorious-and as I tried some online typing tests in the store, the errors piled up. Particularly if the problem just began recently, suspect any new software or drivers that you may have installed or updated before the shortcut key problem began.So I went to a Best Buy to try the latest and greatest MacBook Pro. So the moral is, if no other solutions you try are helping your shortcut keys to work, try to determine if there is OTHER software on your computer that might have those same shortcut keys assigned, and which is taking priority, or preventing them from executing in your desired software. ![]() (Note that even with Radeon’s software turned OFF, apparently that registry value was still stopping those shortcut combinations from reaching Word or Sound Forge.) When I set the value to “1” (which meant I was disabling AMD’s hotkeys), those problem shortcut keys began working in Word and Sound Forge immediately! I did not need to reboot the computer, nor even close & reopen Word or Sound Forge. Searching in the registry, I found the key “HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAMDDVR”, which had a value called “HotkeysDisabled”. Even though I have hardly accessed Radeon’s software interface, I found that it did indeed have these same shortcut keys pre-assigned to its own functions. I had recently installed new AMD Radeon (video card) drivers. It occured to me that these particular shortcut keys might be being hijacked or assigned or preempted by ANOTHER program that was taking priority over Word and Sound Forge. So I began to realize this must be happening at a more basic OS level. These key combinations could NOT be entered at all. ![]() The exact same shortcut keys did not work in Sound Forge. This occured even with an onscreen keyboard, so I knew it was not a physical keyboard or cable problem. In my case, MOST shortcut keys worked properly in Microsoft Word, but a FEW certain shortcut combinations STOPPED working, such as: And yes, make sure English is your default language. This way switching to another language in, say, Google Chrome won’t affect Excel. Or, as I did, enable individual language for every window in Win 10 settings: Language bar – Language preferences – Language – Spelling, typing & keyboard settings – Advanced keyboard settings – put a checkmark at “Let me use a different input method for each app window”. You can either remember to switch the language back to English every time you launch Excel. Switching to English after that won’t help either, Excel has to start with English language selected for the shortcuts to work properly. If the foreign language is selected at the moment when Excel starts, the shortcuts won’t work. It turned out that in Win-10 by default the language is selected for the whole system. I got a new Win-10 laptop with Office 365 and after adding my native language shortcuts in Excel stopped working, or more precisely they worked randomly 50/50. Hi everyone, I just found a solution for this problem in a multi-language environment. ![]()
