    Shift keys not behave as expected in window10 HP elitebook


    My shift keys are not behaving as expected. Please find following concerns.

    • When press right shift key then prints q character.
    • When press left shift key then prints z character
    • When i need to print A it prints as qA

    I didn't change any settings or configurations.

    Can anyone suggest to solve this issue. I'm helpless right now.

    :)

    Make a shift key behave like an arrow key

    I have a Windows 10 laptop with a keyboard designed by idiots. They tried to cram the arrow keys where they don't belong, with the result that the up arrow key is between the right shift key and the / key (US keyboard layout). This is one of the stupidest things the designers could have done, because it means that when I go to hit the right shift key (which is most of the time), I end up hitting up arrow instead. This is incredibly annoying.

    I found a program called Sharp Keys which allows me to remap the keys such that the up arrow behaves as shift and the right shift behaves as up arrow. Now, at least I can type. However, I've now lost important functionality for the up arrow key. Up arrow (now labeled "shift" on my keyboard) doesn't repeat. So, I can't just hold the key down to move up. Instead, I have to hit the key repeatedly. How can I fix this, so my right shift key behaves like up arrow and my up arrow key behaves like right shift?

    EDIT

    Following a suggestion from the comments, I installed AutoHotkey. I have the following script:

    I have the same problem as earlier. But, since AHK is a scripting language, is it possible to use it to change the repeat behavior?

    How to disable trackpad for HP Elitebook 840 G5

    As the question states, I am simply trying to disable my touchpad on my HP laptop. So I think this is very specific for the HP Elitebook 840 G5 as I have tried the following generic methods to disable the trackpad:

    1. Under mouse settings, using the Synaptics tab. This tab does not exist for me. (Reference HP Notebooks with Synaptics TouchPad - How to Disable the "Double Tap to Enable or Disable TouchPad" Feature | HP® Customer Support)
    2. Disabling the Synaptics driver. I thought this would work for sure too but I tried to disable all of the mouse drivers available under Mice and other pointing devices (Device Manager) and the trackpad still works.
    3. Using third party software. I tried "touchpad-blocker" and even when enabled, the touchpad still works.
    4. Double tapping the top left corner (how do i disable a touchpad on an hp elitebook 850 laptop? - HP Support Community - 5480918) This does nothing for mine.

    I am open for other suggestions. I am really surprised that disabling the driver didn't work.
