Ok, so I'm browsing teamliquid on firefox and I do "cntrl+mouse click" to open up a thread in a new tab but all of a sudden it stops working. So I try to use the other cntrl key next to the arrows and that one is also non-functional. How can both cntrl keys stop working all of a sudden when the other keys on the bottom row works perfectly fine?

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable that key or something and I might have done that by accident? Seriously this happened outta nowhere and I use that key alot for copy paste and sc and stuff. Thanks for any help.

We have competitive ladder, strong community, progaming in Korea going strong, perfectly balanced game..why do we need sc2? #1 ANTI-SC2 fan

Have you closed firefox and restarted your computer? I know if you press the shift key 5 times really fast it enables/disables sticky keys. Maybe you accidentally did that?

I dunno that sounds like a weird problem u newblet.

I just right click and open as new tab. First option there and I'd rather click twice then use my other arm.

I googled "pressing cntrl key makes computer go into standby" and there is nothing about this lol. So I'm thinkin it's my keyboard(it's like over 8 years old). Will try to buy a cheap keyboard tomorrow and see if that works :/

I heard that the new SC2 virus does this.
Do you have SC2 installed on your computer by a chance?

Ok I seriously think it's my keyboard. Now it works. If I do control+v here it works just fine but when i do it on notepad it puts the system on standby. But before, the control key wasn't working at all so my keyboard is going back and forth right now..I seiorusly think it's the keyboard so I'ma buy a cheap keyboard tomorrow and I'll update this then in case anyone has this problem in the future.
