Keyboard shortcut gone haywire

Recommended Posts

Not sure if anyone has ran into this issue before but whenever I try to use Alt+F1 to fit nothing happens. Whenever I try to reset the keys on the shortcut it registers "Alt+F1" as "p". Tried a different keyboard but that wasn't it. All other F key shortcuts work fine as well. It's almost like there are gnomes that come in over the weekend and screw things up in ways you never thought possible. 

 

*edit: should also add that I'm using 2017.

I had the same problem. It was a keyboard going bad with a sticky key. Bought a new keyboard and the problem vanished. It also gave me an excuse to buy that new MSI mechanical keyboard I was wanting.

Tried using someone else's keyboard but I was able to repeat the issue. Not ruling it out but I think something else is going on other then the keyboard.

I have Alt+F1 as a mouse key.  It often will not work because I've shifted focus to a pdf or an open dwg file.  It has actually caused me quite a bit of frustration.  Is that possible?

Turned out that it was a nvidia program interfering with it. It used Alt+F1 to take screenshots and since it was running in the background it was interfering with Mastercam. Thanks for the help though! Hopefully if anyone else runs into funny things happening with their shortcuts this might provide some insight.

Oh yeah, funny thing. I had the same thing. I forgot all about that. And it was a stinker to figure out too. I googled how to disable nvidia screenshots. That stupid black bar woould pop out on the top right of my left monitor. That one pïssed me off for a while before i finally googled it.
