    Dash key button press detected but no input


    I use a razer cynosa v2. Got it as a replacement keyboard from Razer this year but suddenly the "-" on the alphanumeric side not keypad doesn't work, not even the underscore but I can confirm that a button press is being registered as my keyboard's RGB reacts to button presses. Could this be an software issue on widows 11 or an issue with my keyboard. It was working fine yesterday but not since this morning.

    :)

    Zippy! Automatic Button Pressing program.

    Are you only using the hook to catch the key to use for sending input?

    I can think of a couple ways to grab input without the hook. Maybe you can run through the virtual key list with GetAsyncKeyState() and flag what's pressed. From there you can just build your list of keys to mash and fire them off with SendInput(). Some food for thought, probably get you out of AV flag territory.

    Using the tab key to hop between text fields highlights all buttons

    Hello,
    Whenever a dialog box pops up in Windows 10, if it contains text input fields and clickable buttons/radio buttons/checkboxes, pressing the tab key steps through every single item in the dialog box, which is very annoying and, to me, pointless. Do I recall that there might be a way to limit this behaviour so the tab key only highlights text input boxes, and not every single element? I can't find anything useful in Windows 10's Settings/Control Panel - am I missing something or is this not possible?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Shift Key and Number key cannot be pressed at the same time.

    Hello,

    There are several factors why you are unable to use the shortcut keys function such as keyboard settings, or if there is an issue with the keyboard itself. To help you resolve this, kindly try the following suggestions:

    • You might have selected an input language other than English. To work around with this, go to
      Control Panel > Region and Language and check. You can also check if your keyboard has a language selection available that may need to be changed.
    • We suggest as well that you reset the keyboard layout by reinstalling the language and check if it fixes the issue. Follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows+R keys and type intl.cpl. Hit Enter.
    • Go to Administrative tab and click on
      Change system locale
      button.
    • Select the correct language and country from the drop-down box.
    • Navigate to the location tab and check if region settings are appropriate.
    • Apply the changes and Windows will require a reboot.

    Inform us for any updates regarding the issue so we can assist you further.
