- Last my my A3000 keyboard connected to A1200 dropped
- to floor and suffered most disgusting damage -
- Control/LShift/LAlt-keys broke off.
-
- I managed to gfix them temporarily, bt now the Control
- key refuses to work at all. ANd I mean it, it just
- doesnt take any keypresses.
-
- This gives quite a problem, since CONTROL is after all very
- important. You need it to break operations, and in UNIX
- world you are very stuck if you cant do any CONTROL+anything
- operations, like send messages etc.
-
- Fixing it might be possible, but I dont have time for
- it right now, I got to do Net-using on PC until I've got
- it fixed. But meantime, is the any probgram that I could
- use to "empulate" Control? SOme key combination that
- would send "Contro" signal? Like shift+alt=control, and
-
- I could SOMEHOW do work?
-
- ANd I'm not that typist BTW; but this stupid PC doesnt
- let me backspace :-) One HUGE reason more to get
- some kind of COntrol-keypress :-)
-
- A3000 keyboard is otherwise great, but it built too badly
- considering the trouble it causes by breaking. And it's
- hard to get and costs real much around here.... :-(
-
- Andswers in email, thanks.
