Keystrokes Not Registering

Anonymous — Fri, 30 Jul 2004 19:48:02 GMT

Okay, I ranting because this just happened to me two times in a row. I hate it when ArchiCAD won't register my command keystrokes. I wanted to move a selection set so I hit CTRL+D, then selected the first point and it threw out the selection set -- I wasn't in the command. So I paid slightly close attention and it did it again. It wasn't until I hit CTRL+D five consecutive times (I was upset) that it finally worked.

I have noticed this problem a lot over the last few months. I thought it was just me, but other users around here are having the same problem.

Is any body else experiencing this?

This sounds more like a bug than a wish.

If we vote for it, does that mean we want to have this problem as well?

Well put Tom.

Let's all try to make sure that a wish really is a wish before posting it. Unless you're sure that ArchiCAD cannot do something, please post it as a question in another forum before posting it as a wish.

Maybe the keyboard is messed up? Spill any coffee on it recently?

Okay, I wish Graphisoft would fix this because it happens to almost everybody in our office quite frequently.

turn 'num lock' off

(it gets knocked on quite easily . . .)

How does that affect the letter keys? I'm not getting the correlation.

Num Lock is always on for me ... I couldn't bear to enter numbers without touch typing on the numeric pad ... and I haven't had a problem. So, is this a Mac thing?

ah. laptop keyboard - no separate num pad:

'num lock' locks out the rest of the keyboard whilst allowing only the embedded number keys. i hit it on all the time by accident when using keyboard shortcuts - my letter keys then go AWOL until i realise what's happened (which is pretty quickly now )

sorry for the confusion . . .
