- A keyboard quirk on a Thinkpad
- Posted by Stan Goodman on November 11th, 2004
The laptop is clearly under the control of Dark Forces. There is a problem
with the keyboard -- not hardware-related, because it is manifested only on
the primary eCS installation, not on the maintenance partition.
On the Thinkpad keyboard, some keycaps are marked with small characters in
addition to the ones they normally produce. For example, the U key has also
a small 4. All the keys will these alternate characters are now producing
the alternate characters. In the two years I have had this machine, nothing
like this has ever happened.
I have always assumed that the alternate characters have something to do
with Windows, and so have never been interested in them. I have examined the
Fn table in the hardware manual Bob Eager gave me, and found nothing
relevant. Does anyone know how to get these keys back to normal?

You are in "NumLock" mode which is toggled by pressing shift-NumLock on
the keyboard.
