The ctrl-5 and ctrl-6 don't register anymore. It's almost certainly a hardware issue. But how the hell is that possible. ctrl-4 and ctrl-any number works.

Argh.

Haha someone surviving with 1600+ posts on TL can't be THAT gullible.

On topic: sticky keys might be on? Check control panel, but that still doesn't explain why ctrl+4 would work... Please update when you find a solution

He probably would have told us specifically if he had to type "ctrl-5" via the num pad or some other clever method.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

5 6 5 6.

Copy pasted, understand now?

Edit: apparently people think that the OP is incapable of finding a number 5 and a number 6 from a post or a time stamp and pasting it.


Why doesn't the OP explain.. what exactly is going on, and if he can manually press 5 and 6 on his own.


If he can, chances are another key of the 5 to 6 circuit is jammed, it happens sometime with Wow players that use the alt and ctrl key as modifiers.

My first suggestion would be to press the alt key up and down a few times and try the combination again. Jesus so much hate for asking for more information. Ridiculous.

Or he could just type the whole thing using an on-screen keyboard. Or he could have typed it using another keyboard/computer. Or he could have used some dictation system.

LOL sorry this is just too fun. You are a good man for trying to help. I'm just being an ass.

yes the 5 and 6 work correctly on their own. I have google chrome, ctrl-number takes you to the corresponding tab. Thats how I can easily test it. But off course I noticed it in broodwar. Ctrl works as well, since it works with other numbers. ctrl-5 and ctrl-6 work on the numbpad. Als, only the left ctrl bugs out. I currently use shift-5 and shift-6 in bw, but clearly it's far from ideal.

Or you could switch to protoss and only need 1a2a3a4a.

It's really a strange issue. I had some problems once due to the chaos plugin.

Try your keyboard with different system. Like, bring it to your friends house or download random linux live CD that has firefox and try it there.
That will make it clear whether it's hardware issue or not

OT: New keyboard? Never heard of this problem before.
