Aspire s7 "at symbol"

Azhutt — Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:06:07 GMT

Good morning,

Well i have this new notebook and i have a problem with the "@" symbol, this symbol is at the "no. 2" key, but i have tried both shift keys, also the "alt" key without any results, maybe its the "alt gr" key but the problem is that when i press the "alt gr" key its like i have pressed the right click, i get the same menu as when i press the right click and for that i cant do the "alt gr + 2" combination, does anyone knows the solution to this problem?

Sorry for my english, best regards. =D

No problem.. When did this issue start? Was there any liquid spillage on the keyboard?

If it started all of a sudden, try reinstalling the keyboard driver from device manager and restart the laptop and see if the problem exist.

The notebook is new it has just one day, and there was not any liquid spillage, the "alt gr" key is working as it was the right mouse click...

Check 'Control Panel > Region and Language' is set correctly. From there, also have a look at 'Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards... > Advanced Key Settings > Change Key Sequence...' and confirm that settings are as you expect.

Another reported cause is that a 3rd party program has 'hot keys' set which hijack the normal function so check whether you have any util installed that may be the culprit.

Bumping this, as I have the same issue as OP on my Aspire S7-191.

Norwegian keyboard layout, so the @-character is on the 2 key, whenever I hit Alt Gr it brings up the context menu as if I were right-clicking.

This has happened on 3 GNU/Linux distros I've tried so far.. removed Windows 8.1 so fast that I didn't really use it at all before the format, but I will install Windows again to check if the problem persist there as well.

It's a very silly deal-breaker for me, which is a shame since I really like this notebook if it weren't for this small but at the same time significant issue.

Configured Ubuntu to use the left Alt instead, will take some time getting used to but at least it works.
