Question Mark

[carlton23]

I have tried pressing Caps Lock but my question mark won`t appear on my text. I use a wireless keyboard by SilverCrest, and also my Shift Key on the right keeps sticking down causing me having to keep reverting back to case. Please advise.

My question mark is Shift + ?, not Caps Lock.
Sounds like your keyboard might need a clean (and this is from a non-techy who <<ssh>> gets crumbs in the keyboard.

Caps lock doesn't effect the punctuation or number keys. why not use the left shift key instead?

[carlton23]

It doesn`t work on that one either Chuck.

[ChuckFickens]

Sounds like it's time for a new keyboard.

Boxtops: I`ve tried vacuuming, and turning it upside down and giving it a smack on the bottom, and to no avail.

[carlton23]

Chuck: I`ve only had it 18months from new, and bye the way, have you set fire to your cat, question mark.

[ChuckFickens]

out of interest can you get any of the other extra characters such as the @ sign and if so is it in the correct place on the keyboard?

And I like to think of it as a cat made from fire rather than a cat on fire (otherwise I'll get it from all the cat people on here :))

LOL chuck, No1 son is just leaning out of my avatar to get a better look.....

[carlton23]

[carlton23]

Head to Asda. A perfectly usable keyboard will cost you £4.00. OK, it's not wireless, but does that really matter?

In the meantime, to type a question mark, check that the number lock on your keyboard is on. Hold down the 'Alt' key. Type 63 on the numeric keypad (not on the row of number keys across the top of your keyboard. Release the Alt key.

Actually I was brought up with cats and do like them and as such would never wish harm on one (though personally if I were in the position to get a pet I'd get a dog)

Anyhow, back to the ?

does your / ? key work at all?

Unbelievable! You'd think in this day and age people would have some common sense.

Sorry, wrong thread. Pardon me.

[ChuckFickens]

Wrong thread, society?

Oi Chuck, I think AB needs tuning up. I had a few windows open and for some unexplainable reason my post end up on this thread and all the tabs changed to this question..

Buenchico: all I get is a ♥ when I try, what you`ve suggested.....love...lol

[carlton23]

My OH tells me it`s guaranteed for 3 years so back to Aldi`s to-morrow.

[Buenchico]

Either you didn't press the 6 key properly or it's not working!

Alt 63 is definitely the code for ?
(I've just used it to type that one)

Alt 3 is the code for ♥

However you're welcome to keep sending hearts in my direction, Carlton23 ;-)

Got an onscreen keyboard in the accessibility section? Could see if ? works with that.
