Solve : alt codes acting strange? |
|
Answer» I tried using my alt codes to make a different character and the alt codes commands seem to have changed. When I press alt+7 while trying to type an alt code online, it randomly OPENS the avg safesearch page, which I do not have installed (using chrome by the way), and it types the alt+7 character into the search. It never did this before for me, and also alt+4 and alt+6 seem to make pages go back and FORWARD. For the past couple of hours I have been searching everywhere for what is happening, but nothing seems to work.Num Lock Question. So then, does avg safesearch get into the keyboard software? I don't believe it does. He must have SET it as his homepage, or it got set to that page by AVG, probably at the time of installation. If a browser has focus, and if Num Lock is toggled OFF, then ALT + numpad 7 sends that browser to its HOME page. Alt + 4 goes back, and Alt + 6 goes forward. This is normal. (See the alternative non-Numlock legends on the keys in the picture?, Well, ALT changes these) Salmon Trout, good answer. Thanks.
