My computer's shift key is not working and I am not able to type percentage hash star plus with pressing the shift key?

Your keyboard has two shift keys on it, one on the left and one on the right. If both of them are not working then it is unlikely that the keyboard itself is faulty. Instead it is possible that either the keyboard cable or the keyboard port on the computer is damaged (but this is unlikely if all other keys are working).

Before buying a new keyboard, try borrowing one from a friend to see if the keys work.

If you are using Microsoft Windows and a full size keyboard with a separate numerical keypad, you can also input characters using an 'ALT code'. For example, hold down the ALT key and type 43 on the numerical keypad to insert a plus sign '+'.""""""""""""" i get this when i press shift keys or caps lock to use the at symbol

11/22/10 Hi, I'm PunksterBrew just wanting to add to my experience with similar problems. Both of my shift keys were not working, but all my other buttons did. I noticed when I took out my keyboard from my laptop, shifting worked again at a certain angle as I lifted it upwards. My keyboard ribbon folds, and I suspected that was the problem. Apparently, if it folds too much, the connection is weak. All I did was duct tape a wedge of folded paper at the fold. Problem is fixed now, although it may be temporary.

How do you make a keyboard shortcut?

You can make a keyboard shortcut for starting a program by right clicking the shortcut to a program (such as the Start Menu ones) and clicking properties. In the "Shortcut Key" text box, type the letter or number you want to make into a shortcut. After you apply the settings all you have to do to start the program is to press the letter while holding down the Ctrl and Alt keys. If you make the shortcut key one that is on the number pad, you will just have to press that key to start the program. You won't have to hold down any other key. I don't think you can make any other kind of keyboard shortcut.

What key is to change typing case lettering?

If you have to change a single letter such as in names you can use the shift key for it.

For example, the name Rahul.

When you type 'R' u should first hold the shift key and then press 'R' key and release the shift key when you type the rest.

If you have to type something like and abbreviation or something else which has to be wholly in upper case, hit the caps lock key in the left of your keyboard then start typing what you have to. Again hit the Caps Lock key to toggle from upper case to lower case.

That's it. Hope your doubt is clear. :)

What does nbsp means?

In HTML markup it means "non-breaking space". Its a space you use which is not a valid place for automatic hyphenation. An example is when writing numbers.

If you write $1 000 000, it is wise to use the nbsp between the groups of figures, or you could find your number broken with a hyphen at the end of a line.

What are the preparatory steps before typing?

Here are some of the key things to keep in mind with respect to typing posture and hand position:

  • keep the backs of your hands parallel to the keyboard.
  • have your arms oriented so that you are able to keep your index, middle and ring fingers on their home keys (see Lesson 1), and have both pinky fingers reach the shift keys without bending your wrist sideways.
  • sit up as straight as possible (within reason!).
  • have the top of the monitor at eye level.
  • hands should be slightly lower than elbows (keeps the blood flowing to the hands!).
  • keep your wrists straight, so that the tendons in your wrist are unencumbered through the carpal tunnel.
  • take frequent breaks! get up and walk around, or sit under a tree or something.
