    ctrl + w problem


    Hello, i have a problem. I was playing some PC game CS:GO and i got rage and i punched my keyboard. After few minutes i realised i cant do duck walk in this game with ctrl + w. When I am holding ctrl + w, a repetitive sound is heard. I think i switched my settings on my keyboard. I'm not knowledgeable in windows, so i dont know, how to solve a this problem. I only know this shortcut ctrl + w will close selected file. I want to disable or set off this shortcut. Thanks a lot for answer

    :)

    Ctrl + W works as if Ctrl + V... but only once

    I'm having a strange issue with Ctrl + W on Windows 10.

    When I press Ctrl + W, it pastes my clipboard... the first time. But if I continue to hold Ctrl, and press W again, it prints "w".

    It's as if Windows "forgets" that Ctrl is being held - if I press any key, it acts as its normal key, without a Ctrl modifier.

    Here's an example:

    I open NotePad. My clipboard contains "Hello".

    • I press W

    • I hold Ctrl
    • I press W

    • I press W

    • I press A

    • I release Ctrl

    The behaviour is the same on all programs I've tested.

    I've previously edited the registry keymap, but since reverted it. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout contains only (Default)

    I'm trying to map Ctrl + W to close tabs in Android Studio, so any help would be appreciated.

    Ctrl + W works as if Ctrl + V... but only once

    Turns out TenClips Clipboard Manager overrides Ctrl + W by default

    I got my Ctrl + W back by:

    • Opening TenClips settings
    • Removing the shortcut for "Paste purified text", which was set to Ctrl + W by default

    Apparently these settings will be reset on reboot unless you pay for TenClips... so I am now using CopyQ

    Ctrl W

    I need to disable Ctrl W as a function that closes my web pages, I need it for work. How do I disable?
