autlycus Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Has anyone ever encountered or fixed an issue on some Dell notebook (internal) keyboard which cause the super (windows/command) key to not function properly? I have experienced this on a handful of devices now and it's more than slightly frustrating. When I alter a key-press with command it just inserts foreign characters (ie Command-Q is œ, or Command-W is ∑ ). I have tried the PS/2 keyboard fix int he hopes that this would perhaps have some impact, but it does not. I also tried re-mapping the keys, swapping Command and Control. The effect was the same, but with the control key. I have experienced this issue with both the regular Dell notebook keyboard and the expanded full notebook keyboard (with 10-key pad). This issue does not happen with external USB keyboards. Touchpad and Joystick seem to work as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 16, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2015 it could be your choice of ps2 kext. i had similar issues with ~ key i think maybe the coder coded the kext to there language preferences idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autlycus Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 The problem I've seen is that it occurs with or without a PS/2 kext loaded. I'm guessing the keyboard is recognized as USB rather than PS/2, but that there must be something screwy with the signals being sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 17, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 17, 2015 œ ∑ yup same here. but the option key should do that. if i press the alt key instead of the windows key with q it quits the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
