I have an external keyboard (Logitech K120, Windows Layout) connected to my notebook, running Windows 10, and since today I am facing problems when using shortcuts that involve Ctrl+Shift.
One concrete use-case that I have and struggle with is selecting whole words per short-cut, i.e. "Ctrl+Shift+Left or Right Arrow". On the built-in keyboard that works, on the external only with Ctrl+Shift on opposing ends of the keyboard.
Specifically, if I want to use them I have to use the keys on opposing sides of the keyboard.
The following do work, but in my opinion make for a very awkward hand-positioning:
- "Left-Side Ctrl + Right-Side Shift + Arrow key"
- "Right-Side Ctrl + Left-Side Shift + Arrow key"
The following combinations don't work:
- "Left-Side Ctrl + Left-Side Shift + Arrow key"
- "Right-Side Ctrl + Right-Side Shift + Arrow key"
I checked the following scenarios which all worked fine:
- Try the shortcuts on the built-in keyboard of the notebook
- Try the keyboard on another computer
- Try another keyboard on the notebook
Therefore I assume, that it is a driver issue. But uninstalling the keyboard via the device manager did not work.
The problem coincides with two things: On the notebook an update of the MS Office Suite to Office 365 took place and the keyboard was attached to a Mac. I somehow doubt, that this actually has to do anything with each other, but maybe it is useful information.
I would be really glad for any kind of information how this problem could be solved. Thank you.
