Diane, Thanks for responding on this issue. I've written in about the same problem, along with a problem with the arrow keys not working when held down continuously. The arrow keys work when pressed repeatedly, but not if held down continuously. A couple of others have responded with comments about certain programs installed or third-party extensions to Frame installed, but none of those apply as I don't have the listed applications installed, nor do I have any third-party Frame extensions installed. I'm looking in the Regional and Language Options control panel and checking all of the things there I can deduce from your post, but none of those seem to apply to my situation, either. I recently changed my display settings that control the appearance of the windows (I don't recall if I had it changed to my personal preferences when I've had this issue before or not, so thought I'd try it. I have to switch to a different one at times for screen captures.), so we'll see if this has any effect on it. Last week, I had an interesting development with it. I was working on editing a document and it started happening again. Before I restarted Frame, I wanted to finish the updates I was working on. I paged up and found an anchored frame with an image in it, along with some lines and text boxes for callouts. I remembered reading that you can press Control and click on an element like a text box without switching tools, so I did that and it worked! I moved the elements using the Alt key and arrow keys and that worked, as well. When I clicked out of the anchored frame and tried using the arrow keys, as well as things like Control-A, Control-V, etc, they all worked, as well! I have NO IDEA why this behavior happened, but, so far, it hasn't happened again. I'd certainly like to resolve this issue, if possible, as it is rather a PITA to have to restart Frame when it happens!

The keyboard gets remapped to another language, usually Spanish. I turned off the language settings in the control panel and have not had it happen since. The keyboard shortcut to switch languages was set to Left Alt Shift and I apparently was hitting those keys without realizing it. Next time it happens, try that key combination and see if it switches back. If not, click Settings >Control Panel > Regional and Language Settings > Details and turn off all the languages except English.

My keyboard will suddenly become remapped. I have to quit and restart FrameMaker and all is well. I am still not sure what is triggering it.
