ctrl+shift not working together
Has anyone found an actual solution to this problem yet? It's happening to me too when I use ctrl + left shift on ANY of my apps or even websites. It's becoming very frustrating
Thanks everyone for this information. A very similar problem to this just surfaced for me.
Summary: Ctrl+Shift+LeftArrow (or Right Arrow) stopped working for me
Details:
- occurred suddenly with no new hardware/software installed
- Sticky Keys option wasn't enabled on my computer
- Ctrl and Shift and the Arrow keys all work fine separately
- Ctrl+Shift with other keys works fine! eg in Chrome Ctrl+Shift+I opens up developer mode
- still fails whether Ctrl+Shift+Arrows used on left or right side of keyboard
- still fails on the keyboard attached to my Surface Pro or external fob logitech keyboard
- still fails with my AutoHotKey app suspended (made no recent changes in any case)
It seems like Ctrl+Shift+Arrows now maps to something else that doesn't do anything visible. I only use Ctrl+Shift+Arrows to select words in text in Windows editors but my hands can't stop using it. 😞 Any ideas would be great appreciated. Tom
