Both parties chuckle a bit when this occurs, until the seriousness of the situation sets in, that the customer is looking at performing a registry reset to fix this seemingly insignificant issue.Īfter a few minutes we typically discover that right-clicking on a component, dimension or entity will permit us to use the delete option from the shortcut menu (unless that has been hidden too!). Yay.On more than one occasion we have had customers contact our support team with what seems to be a benign symptom, the delete key not working with SOLIDWORKS? Sketch entities, Dimensions, or entire components, it does not seem to matter what we attempt to delete, the delete key will simply not work. Since Macbook keyboards are really hard to get at (see Wired Gadgetlab), and what the **** - its an old computer - I just removed the function key and the keyboard is back to normal. Hey presto! Using the Keyboard Viewer, I could immediately see my problem - the Function ('fn' key) at the bottom left of my keyboard was sticking. Each key is highlighted with each keystroke. A small window will appear showing your Mac keyboard. Click the little window icon which appears top-right next to your battery meter, and select the "Show Keyboard Viewer" menu optionģ.
Open System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard sub-tab -> check the "Show Keyboard and Character Viewer in menu bar" checkboxĢ. up/down arrow equivalent to page up/page downġ.
My issue was similar to those described here and elsewhere: Please let me know if you have any info.ĭiagnosis with MacOS built-in Keyboard Viewerīefore opening up your chassis / lugging your computer to the Apple Store, do some diagnosis with MacOS's built-in Keyboard Viewer. I'm guessing they will stop working at any time s super random. Also i have checked all the settings in System Preferences & all is well. Has anyone heard of this? I haven't done anything "new" to my system recently for them to just stop working this morning at random. Also they are not sticky and have not come into contact with any water, etc. I did nothing to solve the problem & magically the keys A through L began to work again. It happened this morning for probably 5 minutes and just again when i got home from work, again they were only "broken" for about 5 minutes or so. Then randomly they just started working again. The caps lock worked as well as the semi-colon and all the other keys on my keyboard. The weirdest thing is that only keys A-L dont work. No matter how much (or hard) you press them, nothing happens. It started today and randomly the keys on my Macbook Pro (2.0ghz, running 10.6.3) stopped working.
