Is there any method to detect hotkey binding on Windows 7? AltGr+N should display a } sign on my localized keyboard, but it doesn't display anything or do anything. This behaviour is application independent, doesn't work system wide. Although if I login to a remote server with remote destop from the same computer, this keybinding works flawlessly on the remote machine.  Any idea?  Hubi

Given a hotkey, how can I find which program owns it?

I'm trying to change sign text color in Java Edition on Windows 10. According to , this is done using the § symbol:  To enter &quot;§&quot; on Windows with most US/UK English keyboards type ALT + NUMPAD_2 NUMPAD_1  This works for me inside Notepad or this browser. However, when I enter this sequence in the sign input dialog, nothing happens. What could be causing this?

On my Ubuntu 16.04 laptop installation, Alt-Gr does not work. So I cannot type characters like {, }, ~, | etc. (doing this on my PC where everything works). I tried various suggestions from multiple Ubuntu wikis, forums, Ubuntu support site: Nothing works.  Most solutions are for older Ubuntu versions, a lot seems to be different on Ubuntu 16.04: There is no System Preferences (you can install the app manually, but there are no keyboard settings there), I don't find Keyboard Layout anywhere...  This is not a duplicate of , Ubuntu 16.04 is different!  Edit: Found the keyboard layout display, and it matches the keyboard (now). But Alt-Gr combinations don't work.

I recently purchased an MSI ge40 laptop.  It's been running fine (very hot laptop though) except for one issue. When I use windows key + L to lock the laptop, upon typing in my password and logging in, pressing any key that would normally be used in combination with the windows key activates that program.  So, if I hit win+L, type password, then hit 's' the search comes up. Etc.   This also randomly seems to happen when I am not using win+L. I might just be browsing the web and then I hit 's' when I am typing a url and then boom, search pops up. Very annoying.  I fix this by hitting the win key....sometimes onces, sometimes 10 times. Doesn't seem to have to do with the hardness of the strike.   I guess I'm at a loss. I researched this and only results about vista and 7 come up.

I am curious as to whether there is an equivalent to the Alt-. command on Mac. On my computer it inserts the following character: ≥, instead of showing the .

I hope I'm right in thinking this is the site where you post general computer-related problems...  A problem I have when playing games (since you won't be pressing multiple keys simultaneously anytime else), is that when I press up/left and then another key, it fails to 'register' as if that last key is never pressed. This doesn't happen when I'm pressing any other two arrow keys, e.g. down/left or up/right. The weird thing is that when I'm playing with WASD instead of the arrow keys, i still have this problem! Meaning W+A+another button doesn't work.  If anyone knows what I should, I'd appreciate the help. (My reflexes are fast and I can always circumvent this problem, but it's quite annoying and shouldn't exist to begin with!)

I often use  to connect to remote VNC desktops served by RealVNC Server, Tight VNC Server, X11VNC... etc.    When connected, all pressed hotkeys are passed to (captured by) the remote desktop, and that is OK for me, but I then need use to the mouse to click on my local desktop if I want to interact with local programs... and keys are always faster than the mouse.    Is there any hotkey to escape from the remote desktop and send focus to the local desktop?

Is there a way to disable certain Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts?  Specifically, in this case, I want to disable Alt+Space and WinKey+Space.

I am quite proficient with the keyboard and try to only use the mouse when necessary. Given that context I was very familiar with the shortcut keys in MS Outlook 2003 and never needed to use the mouse to use that product. Now my company has recently upgraded to MS Outlook 2010 and I am finding it impossible to operate it without having to use the mouse. In particular replying to meeting requests with the old shortcut keys no longer seems possible.   I have held down the ALT key and sometimes it shows some shortcuts on the ribbon but this seems to be limited to ALT+H which tends to alternate between designating "Accept" and "Tentative" without any keys for the other options. Also as this appears to switch between "Accept" and "Tentative" one can't even use this consistently without first having to check what it means for each particular instance.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Whenever I'm at the console login, I press up arrow intentionally to see the previously typed commands. But I see this ^[[A.  But when I press Ctrl Alt Print Screen Scroll Lock Pause Break Page Up Page Down Win keys doesn't echo any characters.  What might be the reason behind?  Does ^[[A sort of characters imply anything?

How can I stop the Alt key from triggering the menu bar of applications in Ubuntu 19.10?  I know that there are these , , and , as well as  but those solutions are no longer applicable. I did try searching for a similar option to the one in the answer of those questions but with no success.

What's the shortcut for closing the current tab or window? Also, the new Win 7 shortcuts don't work for me.  For instance Alt + Space + X maximizies  the window but Win + UpArrow doesn't work.  Weird.

I want to change the key bindings on some of the keys on my keyboard.  I want some to run commands and others to activate different keys.  What applications can I use to do this?      Index:       (from within System Settings)             I'm still looking for answers using dconf and any other method.

I've got a problem that occured to me out of nowhere.  Today in the morning, as I logged in to my computer at work I cannot input Polish diacritical signs. For example rAlt + A should give Ą but instead it gives no character. On the other hand : rAlt + rCrtl + A gives the expected Ą sign. Also another weird thing: before the WindowsKey + R shortcut opened the Run command without any lag or nothing. Today it opens the menu at first, after that proceeds to Run command.  I've checked every possible language setting. Everything is fine. Keyboard layout - Polish (Programmer) also is fine. Checked my graphics driver (since they can have some issues with shortcuts) and nothing. The OS is malware free. Any possible issue with shortcuts checked with no result.   My computer: Samsung NP550P7C, Windows 8.1 Enterprise (after every possible update).  I hope there is another way than reinstalling the OS since I have alot of software to be reinstalled with it to enable me to work.

My keyboard doesn't have power-related keys. I would like to enter the hybrid sleep using the keyboard and only with a minimum of keystrokes.  If there is none, how do I bind a hotkey to it?

In Windows 7 how can I disable the function that activates the menu bar when Alt is pressed?  Are there some registry values to modify this behaviour?

This is one of the wackiest and weirdest problems I have ever encountered. My keyboard was working absolutely fine untill yesterday on Ubuntu 13.04. However, when I boot to Ubuntu today, I suddenly find that all the keys work, but I have to press and keep on holding them for about a second for them to work.   This behavior is true for all the keys except for Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock keys, the indicator for them on my keyboard lights up as soon as I press those keys. The keyboard works fine at the login screen where I put my password.  The keyboard also works normally if I use the Guest session instead of my normal user account. I have not done any key-remappings and using the standard English (US) keyboard layout.  I have fiddled around with the settings for Keyboard in System Settings, but to no avail. I have Windows 7 as dual-boot and the keyboard works perfectly well on it.   Why am I facing such a behavior and how to normalize this?  PS: Using Logitech Classic Keyboard K100 (USB Model).
