Windows 7 Windows Keyboard Shortcuts

[ravna]

Hi Guys...had a problem in Dreamweaver the other day relating to Keyboard Shortcuts not working from the 'Keypad'...posted the question on the Adobe forum and received this answer...

You can't use numeric keypad with CTRL key because those keys are meant to be used alone for inserting numbers.


To use CTRL key plus the number, you should always use the numbers in line one of the keyboard (assuming you are using standard English keyboard - US, Australian or UK).

All key combinations are meant to be used from the main keyboard (NOT from number keypad). This is Windows default settings.

I questioned his response and got a 'That's how it is' in reply.

I personally don't think this is the case...but I will bow to superior knowledge...can anyone enlighten me ..and them.

Cheers John M

John M, It seems like you are facing difficulties with using keyboard shortcuts involving the CTRL key on Dreamweaver. The response you received on the Adobe forum mentioned that you can't use the numeric keypad with the CTRL key because those keys are intended to be used alone for inserting numbers. Let's clarify this situation:

• Typically, keyboard shortcuts involving the CTRL key can be used with numbers from the top row of the keyboard (not the numeric keypad).
• However, this behavior can vary based on software and settings.

To further investigate this matter, it would be helpful to understand how different applications handle keyboard shortcuts. Additionally, checking the specific settings within Dreamweaver regarding keyboard shortcuts can provide more insights into how shortcuts are designed to work within the software. If you have further questions or need assistance with resolving this issue, feel free to ask!
