Title: Keyboard Commands not working
Post by: obert on September 20, 2008, 07:51:34 AM

OK for some reason none of my keyboard commands are working. Have tried a reboot as well as relogging, keyboard working fine in windows and if I hit the radio button on the clipboard i can type, any ideas?
Forgot to say it was working fine last night after update

sometimes if you hit the ESC key it brings up clipboard and clears itself ....sometimes you in advertently accidently hit a certian set of keys and lock yourself up......sometimes combined views will lock your keyboard up.hitting home or ESC will sometimes clear this......

outside of the above..clearing your .......well just looked,  it is not their no more. use to be a keyboard setting file in the settings subfolder........

was gonna say sometimes deleting it.then restarting game it would rebuild fresh....... a stuck key would usually not cause this problem...

hopefully someone will come along and have better info for you......

edit - have you checked to see if you have your mouse checked for viewing/pan view   or have you messed with any settings in key mapping ?

Wouldn't work on login at all today yet was working perfectly well last night, very strange.
Have messed with nothing at all, hmm I am most confused by this, tried another reboot but still the same. I did look for a keyboard setting file but couldn't find anything obvious. maybe I'll have another look when I get home

Yup tried H. Set up another windows account and it worked fine, logged in just now and it's happened on that account too, most strange and damned if I can find what's causing it grrrr

Just a total shot in the dark mind you,,,,,
For the last few days while playing I've seen random switching of the "Control Mode" from 1 to 2.  I don't really have Control Mode 2 setup so my keyboard is mostly unresponsive.
I'm sure in my case that I have been fat fingering the keyboard and doing it accidentally,,,I need to swap some key mappings around apparently.

Worth a look,,,maybe.
