Yep. Noticed my “p” key was sticking, so I thought I’d do what I’ve always done, pop it off and clean out whatever gunk/food/cat hair was causing it to stick. Except this keyboard is nothing like any of my previous keyboards, and now I can’t get it back on.
:smack:
You’re an idiot? I tripped over a cord and accidentally spilled chicken soup on my laptop. Now if you press a key, it types multiple letters even though you only pressed the key once. Sob.
You are an idiot? I went to the eyedoctor today. On the way out, they gave me those nifty sunglasses. Thinks I to myself, “I’ll just wait until I get in the car to get these unwrapped and on my head.”
If only I could FIND the car in the bright, blinding light. Totally stuck in the doorway for about two minutes!
How are you typing p, then?
My guess is pressing down on that little thing in the middle of the key that usually gets pushed down by the cap.
Nah, that would be too easy. My guess is that she’s holding down ALT and typing 117 on the numeric keypad.
Of course, if she was really cool, she’d do all her typing with those ALT-number combos.
Am I even more of an idiot for trying the ALT thing and not being able to do it?
Dunno. Alt+117 puts a weird character that does not look like a p in my post and then changes the page to my homepage.
Dunno where I got 117 from, but 112 is more correct.
It seems to work for me. Make sure number lock is on and maybe try typing it with an initial 0 (ALT+0112).
Don’t worry too much if you still can’t get it. It’s not exactly the most exciting or useful technique ever invented.
You’re not an idiot - you’re a risk-taker! 
You don’t stand idly by when problems rear their ugly head - you take action! 
Remember that if brute force doesn’t work, you’re not using enough… 
Too bad you don’t have a Mac. I have 3 (4?) extra keyboards. And mice, you’d think we owned a snake!
I’m too hardcore for pansy keyboards that can’t take a little de-keying and re-keying. I use a steel-spring keyboard that makes a sound like a cannon firing every time you press a key. Each of which could, itself, intimidate a cannon rather easily. I’ve rearranged “Alt”, “Caps Lock” and “Ctrl” just to confuse the intruders who I keep at bay with the mere audio output of the typing process.
All Maddox-channeling aside, it’s all true except for the “I’ve” and the intruders part.
Turn the keyboard around and type ‘d’. Try to avoid the capital.
You want idiot? I fell asleep on the couch reading yesterday, apparently taking off my glasses in the process. Then I got up and mashed them quite nicely. I think they are repairable, but I can only make it to the glasses store tomorrow. :smack:
You think you’re an idiot? I broke my big toe doing an Irish Jig on a metal locker room bench before a hockey game.
HA!.. You think you’re an idiot!?
My girlfriend asked me if I thought she was fat… I said no but you could stand to gain a few 'alt+0112’ounds. All of a sudden she’s like, "Oh so you think I’m skinn…
Hey! What happend to my ‘alt+0112’ key!!??? You’ve got to be kidding me!
I would just like to register my appreciation for your name, Mr. DustyButt. I’ve been snorting for five straight minutes. 
112 1122 !!! I’m very intrigued by this alt+112 thing. Any idea how to do it on a Mac? I’ve tried Apple + 112 (discovered a neat way to manipulate my browser tabs), option +112, and cntrl+112. Nothing as exciting as a ‘p’. I assume these must be ASCII numbers or something.
You think you’re an idiot?
I mashed my thumb in my friend’s car door on Friday and now everyone thinks I’m wearing blue-grey nail 'alt+0112’olish!
