[QUOTE="simpleguy1977, post: 969611, member: 137578"] Hello, I am remotely logged on to my Mac using RealVNC and past few days, my Mac has decided not to let me use my Control key (I am using a Windows Keyboard BTW). What I mean is that when I press Ctrl+C, I just see 'C' and the mac behaves as if Ctrl was never pressed. I opened up the Keyboard viewer and when I press Ctrl, the Keyboard viewer shows the "^" key (Left to the mac Key) getting pressed signifying that the Mac is indeed getting the Ctrl key, when I press Ctrl+C, it shows ^ and C keys being pressed, but still the effect of Ctrl is not seen (i.e. in text editor, the cursor does not come to front of line when I press Ctrl+A, in terminal when I press Ctrl+C, the current command does not terminate.) However, when I am at the console of the Mac, all these problems simply go away. I am completely unsure what the **** is going on here. Any and all help will be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
