  1. Switch between screens via keyboard -- Possible?


    Win10-1803.


    My set up:

    I have 2 screens: 1, my laptop, and 2, an HDMI TV.

    Screen 2 is extended desktop.


    What I do:

    Move the mouse between 1 & 2. -- too much mouse distance.


    What I'd prefer:

    Hit a keyboard key to switch between 1 & 2.

    The mouse jumpping with the focus switch is optional -- I could live without it.

    Simple mouse acceleration would not be the preferred solution.


    Any ideas? I've searched but not found Joy.


    Thanks in Advance,

    Mark.

    :)

  3. On-screen keyboard

    Hi Chris, my name is Max and I'm an independent advisor.

    I suggest that you run the automatic troubleshooter to diagnose and fix issues that you can encounter with your On-Screen Keyboard. Do the following steps, please:

    Start menu -choose Settings (the gear icon)

    Select Update & Security, and then select Troubleshoot.

    Find Keyboard on the list.

    Click on it, and click the ‘Run the troubleshooter’ button.

    Switch between screens via keyboard -- Possible?

    Keyboard stops working after switching users...

    Hi,

    I have a very annoying issue that hast started to happen a few days ago. Basically when I switch users keyboard stops working.

    Steps:

    • Start PC
    • Log in as user A - Keyboard works fine
    • Switch User B - login screen is displayed and keypboard works to enter password
    • User B descktop is displayed
      • Keyboard does not work
      • Mouse works
      • Strange behaviour - the system seems to act like the Enter key is stuck down (which it isn't). If I open word to a new document (using mouse) it just inserts new lines into the document... like I am holding the enter key down
    I've tried a different keyboard and still the same issue.

    Any ideas?
