![]() ![]() If that doesn't do the trick, it could be that there is some program that is causing the key to behave differently. The solution is to turn off the FN key and then the zero key should work as expected. When engaged in this manner, the zero key is performing its alternative function. Either the FN key is stuck or there is some sort of "lock" key that makes the FN key sticky. This is what it sounds like may be happening with Geraldine's system. So, for instance, if I want to access the "insert" function on the zero key on my laptop, I hold down FN as I press the zero key. ![]() ![]() The way you access these other functions is to hold down a modifier key, typically a key marked FN. For instance, if I look at the keyboard on my laptop, I see that the zero key on the numeric keyboard is also marked as "insert." Other keys include other alternative labels for other purposes. One of the frustrating things about some systems these days-particularly if you are using a laptop computer-is that there are a limited number of keyboard keys and a large number of purposes to which those keys can be put. Geraldine has no idea why this is happening or how to fix it. When she presses it now, she gets a cut/copy/paste menu instead of a zero. Geraldine seems to have accidentally changed the functionality of the zero key on her numeric keypad. ![]()
