  1. Ctrl+arrow keys not functioning anymore


    Hi,

    From one moment to another my ctrl+arrows hotkeys are not working any more.

    This holds for:

    - the office suite:

    * jumping to edges of tables in excel

    * jumping words in Word

    * slowly move images in Powerpoint (also up and down)

    - explorer or notepad


    Using ctrl+shift+arrows still works fine, so it is probably not a hardware issue. It seems like a Windows wide issue.


    I am running Windows 10 on a Dell XPS 13 9380. I have already tried disabling the Read Aloud function as well as repairing the office suite installation, both without success.


    Is there anything else I can try except re-installing Windows?


    Kind regards,

    Wout

    :)

    (Solved) How to Restore 'Ctrl + Left Arrow' & 'Ctrl + Right Arrow' Function?

    Hi. I usually use 'Ctrl + Right Arrow' or ' Ctrl + Left Arrow' to quickly move ahead or back (word by word) in a sentence I am editing. Or, I use the combinations together with the Shift Key to quickly highlight words in a given sentence. The Ctrl + Arrow
    (and related) Ctrl + Arrow + Shift have stopped working on my system; i.e., nothing happens when I try to use the keys in combination ... but the keys function as expected individually.

    So far, I've restored my Windows settings to an earlier point in time to try and fix the issue, but the problem remains across all applications.

    Does anyone know of a fix to control this shortcut / hotkey issue?

    OS: Windows 10 Pro, x64

    down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?
