  1. Backspace Key Malfunctioning NOT BROKEN


    So, I'll try to give as much detail with my problem as I can. My computer runs off of Windows and I've had almost no issues until earlier tonight when my backspace was not working as intended. I was busy on my phone and kept moving my mouse to make sure the screen wouldn't black out stupid habit, I know and after some time, I'm not sure how much exactly, I returned to using my computer. I had a window of Chrome open and wanted to look something up, and started typing and realized my backspace wasn't working. After updating, restarting, using the troubleshooting feature in settings and turning off filter keys and sticky keys, I still didn't have a clue what was wrong. That was until I noticed something strange. My assumption that the key was just busted was, well, busted as when I press the backspace button, Google Chrome's "Customize and control Google Chrome" button, other known as the three dots, would highlight, much life if I pressed space on my desktop and the last thing I opened from there would highlight. Pressing enter once the button is highlighted opens it, and as I'm writing this now, the back arrow, or the "Undo" button is highlighted every time I accidentally press backspace, and yet nothing will actually undo. Instead, it just highlights it, and if I press it again, it un-highlights it. After double checking, every other key works perfectly fine, and the computer is running perfectly smooth. I'm not sure if I opened a setting tab or accidentally changed a state in my computer, but this issue is more of an inconvenience than anything. Any sort of help or general idea on what to do would be much appreciated! I've seen others after having done all the supposed fixes to no avail, and I can only assume they have my own, unique little problem. Thanks again!

    :)

    Backspace Key Malfunctioning NOT BROKEN

    Ctrl + A + Backspace acting as home key

    I think you lost a character in the question, about what shows up in Notepad.

    When I tried Ctrl+A+Backspace in Notepad, I got the same results as pressing Ctrl-Backspace. (This did generate a character that looked like a thin, tall rectangle.)

    I can suggest three approaches:

    • Try altering your behavior. Use Ctrl-A and Delete, instead of Ctrl-A and Backspace.
    • Try a different keyboard. (This may ultimately end up having the effect of altering your behavior a bit. Another possible effect is to eliminate ghosting issues that may occur when too much is pressed simultaneously on some keyboards. Although I'm suspecting that your current issue is unrelated to keyboard ghosting.)
    • Use the downloaded software AutoHotkey to respond to Ctrl-Backspace by having it automatically press Ctrl-A and then either Backspace or Delete. Hopefully the software will be responsive enough to be able to complete its actions before Windows processes your next keystroke.
