Alex Goodall 1 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 When I use keyboard shortcuts to turn italic/bold off and on, I sometimes hit some key-combinations (by mistake) that cause my keyboard to go into a very weird mode. Strange characters appear when I press alphanumeric keys, although they don't actually get entered into the text. Here's an image of an example after I pressed "g": http://screencast.com/t/rBWUcpBRJLy I've tried various Cntrl/Shift combinations to get it to switch back, but I've not found anything that works. And I've gone into Option to reset the keyboard shortcuts, to no avail. I find I have to re-boot my computer to get back to normality - which is frustrating . Is there a "re-enter normality" keyboard shortcut?? Thanks Alex Link to comment
