I know how to do that, I have a remapper installed already, but I'd prefer
to fix the problem rather than work around it. The above is like what
doctors do - high blood pressure? We'll lower it with a pill, nevermind
what's causing it....

try removing it and see what effect it has.

but it's clear you aren't interested in a solution.

maybe somebody used the remapper so F key ONLY outputs upper case and
the jokes on you?

Turn caps lock on and press shift f.

Interesting proposition. I'll try that if it goes wrong again. The act
of reporting it in here seems to have prevented it from doing so.

I don't have that, but I have had periods where ctrl-C didnt' copy
anything to the clipboard, even though c itself worked and ctrl worked
with other letters like A.

I would somettimes select what I wanted and press the c a half dozen
times, sometimes pounding it, and maybe that helped, I forget.

I didnt' change the keyboard for the same reason you haven't, though our
situations are different. C almost always worked for me, and almost
never works for you.

And because the problem was somewhat intermittent.

After a month or so the problem went away for about a year. Then it
came back for a week or two.

Now it's been gone for a year or more.



Oh, and despite how annoying those two guys are, your vulgar language is
a real turn-off. Maybe you're young and you don't know how vulgar you
sound.

I used to have that problem, although quite rarely, perhaps 1 in 10 times
I copied, it didn't, which meant I pasted in the previous clipboard entry
instead.

There's no such thing vulgar language. They're just words.

The reason could be that you must have used the remapper (whatever this
crap may be) to **** up the brand new Windows 10 machine. Why would
somebody have that crap on their machine unless they used it once to see
what it can do. Don't you get this idiot? What else can people suggest
to a complete idiot.

That worked. Explain how I can now find out what the original problem is.

Caps lock off:
The F on its own fails.
Shift F produces a capital F.

Caps lock on:
The F on its own fails.
Shift F produces a lower case F.

Just tried another keyboard and the exact same problem arises. Something
in software is preventing the transmission of the f key without a shift.

The remapper isn't running on this machine.
