Display icons for caps lock, sound (<Fn> + <F8>), Num lock etc.

23. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,

Have unintentionally done something to my computer which means it no longer displays the momentary icons on screen when you select "Caps lock", or switch on the sound using keys <Fn> + <F8>, or press <Num lock key> etc. etc.  These functions still work but there is no momentary icon on screen to confirm you have just pressed these keys.  (This change happened far too long ago for me to use System Restore.)  Cannot find any help on how to change the settings for this / how to restore these momentary visual icons, so very grateful for any help on this.  Thanks

(Note: I selected "Writer" at random under the heading "Product" below, as there is no category that matches this enquiry in the drop-down menu offered.)

Converting all caps to lowercase in Windows Live Mail

14. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,
Sometimes in WLM I will type a sentence only to discover the caps lock was left on.  Is there any way to highlight the sentence and use a short cut key stroke to convert the caps to lowercase so I don't have to retype the sentence?  Any help appreciated.

Skydrive shortcut keys problem

13. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

I have a Logitech Ultrathin bluetooth keyboard connected to my iPad 4. I am creating/modifying Word documents within Microsoft SkyDrive's Word Web App. When I have "caps lock" ON it acts like CTRL+. For example, with caps lock on and I then type the "R" key it assumes I have selected "CTRL+R" and aligns the text to the right side of the page. I have checked all the shortcut keys within MS's Word Web app within SkyDrive and all the shortcuts are triggered by having the caps lock on and just hitting the respective lettered key on the keyboard. Also when I have the caps lock OFF the CTRL key does not work eg 'CTRL+R' does not re-align the text to the right as it should. None of the he shortcuts work using the CTRL key when the caps lock is OFF. It appears that the caps lock and CTRL keys are not functioning correctly.

I have had the issue tested at Apple with a different iPad and also another keyboard and the issue still occurs. I have been in contact with Logitech support and they say that the functrionality/settings of the keyboard keys is set by the Skydrive application.

I have tried creating documents in Gmails Drive and their shortcut keys don not work on this KB as well. So I am thinking it is an application driven issue. Would this be correct?

I have none of these problems using Skydrive on my PC.

thanks
