hands and quads

[perkeyone]

my keyboard refuses to register them for my configuration
(cvbn)
but these configs do work.

sdfa
lkj;
wrqe
poiu
vxcz
/.,m

why?
i would rather not change my config if there is something i can do to make it work

Re: hands and quads

Try cv nm?

Re: hands and quads

sadly that doesnt help.

i find that combinations that wont work
make my computer bell (beep) when i hold them down

while combinations that will work
do not cause a bell
and the last key repeats

example(cvbn):
v(beep)

example(asdf):
sdfaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Sounds like Sticky Keys.
Google how to deactivate Sticky Keys.

Re: hands and quads

take off sticky keys, and if that doesnt help use the shift keys

zx / shift or shift z ./

Re: hands and quads

if you're too stubborn to shange your setup then like saik0 said, get a new keyboard but I mean really, just change your setup

hmm i went to the sticky keys menu by pressing shift 5 times and then clicking ok
but all the boxes are un-checked
im not sure if this is what is causing the problem

Some keyboards are setup cheaply so that certain leads lead to each key.

Most keyboard are setup with a certain amount of leads to deal with the whole keyboard. So lets say you have some cheap keyboard with 10 leads. If c uses leads 1 and 2 to tell the computer that the "C" key was pressed, and v uses 3 and 4, and so on. well when n uses 1 and 4 the computer sees that 1,2,3,4 is already pressed and doesn't know which key you mean to press. It essentially gets confused, then angry and beeps at you for being a retarded human.

Of course it's much more complex then this and most keyboards use like 20 leads or so, it's all the same concept.

Edit: in short get a better keyboard. or change your setup

thanks for the "technical" explanation
i guess cvbn has some conflict while the other sets do not?

i have considered changing my set up
the whole reason i am asking about this is so i can avoid changing it if possible
your comment is not constructive to my problem

i asked why it doesnt work
and how i can make it work
and by "making it work" i am implying that i want to make my current key board work

however considering what saik0 said about leads and the fact that i dont seem to have sticky keys turned on
i think i will have to change it

Re: hands and quads

On some computers the only way I can register hands is to use some keys on the num pad as well as letter keys.

EX:

using QW and 89 on the num pad works for me.

QWOP does not however.

No.

Re: hands and quads

'hands' is still a perfectly correct, unambiguous way to refer to them
