Good afternoon folks, what does the enable view attribute inspection mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajax-x86 ( talk • contribs) 17:40, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I've looked around online but found nothing; probably I'm missing the right keywords.
I use keyboard shortcuts extensively, and I'm familiar with many of them to the point that I don't look at the keyboard at all when using them. Problem is, sometimes I end up doing something unintentionally, and I can't undo it without restarting the computer. In this case, there's some way whereby typing a few keystrokes causes Windows to do a completely different set of commands: down arrow minimises, up arrow maximises, left and right arrows un-maximise and align to one side. (The effect with these is the same as holding down the start button and hitting an arrow.) Other key commands do yet other things, e.g. Ctrl+S brings up Speech Recognition (again, the same as Win+Ctrl+S), and it's virtually impossible to use the keyboard for normal purposes. The last time this happened (earlier today), I'd been using my left hand to operate a bunch of commands, particularly Ctrl+H, Ctrl+V, and Alt+A. I'm on a QWERTY laptop with bottom-left Windows and Function keys.
How does one bring up this state of affairs, and more importantly, how does one end it without restarting? Nyttend ( talk) 20:48, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
