Wait, seriously? That sounds horrible. :(<p>What version of OS X are you using? Are you using an Mac-oriented keyboard (ctrl&#x2F;option&#x2F;command) or a Windows-oriented keyboard (ctrl&#x2F;windows&#x2F;alt)? Also keep in mind, if you haven’t already tested it out on multiple computers, it could be the keyboard itself that’s dying.<p>(I’ve never experienced the issue. I actually do use a Windows-based keyboard on my Mac, but I use it with ControllerMate¹ (swapped the Windows key and alt key and changed the functions of all the nonstandard keys (multimedia keys, zooming in and out keys, Windows Flip 3D key, etc.)).<p>――――――<p>¹ — <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.orderedbytes.com&#x2F;controllermate&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.orderedbytes.com&#x2F;controllermate&#x2F;</a>
