I don't know why I even thought to try, but I unlocked the machine locally, then connected in via VNC from another machine here at work. I tried typing into an instance of kwrite and discovered that shift was being ignored. I still don't know why or how to fix it! Cue a day of having to use caps lock, or copy/paste to get at any characters that require shift! Fortunately most things could be auto-completed in Eclipse for development work so it was simply a case of typing until the shifted character and then using ctrl+space and arrow keys to select :). Weirdly Ctrl and Alt work fine, it's just shift. And both shift keys don't work - but caps lock does. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
