Suddenly all my keyboard events have OemF1 on them

Post by NibblyPig »

Not sure what happened but none of my keyboard events trigger anymore. When I look at the event list, every keypress comes up as [Keyboard.Key]+OemF1

I have no idea what OemF1 is. Any ideas? Or how I can remove it?

I've tried pressing different function keys on my keyboard which is a logitech K800 but nothing seems to get rid of it.

Yeah, pressed every single key on the keyboard with and without the function key held, no dice. I think it might be a keyboard issue rather than eventghost though because the start menu key doesn't bring up the start menu (but it still works, if I do start+e for example). Still, a way to remove detection for OemF1 would be a good workaround until I can fix it, is that possible?

I have figured it out, it was due to my switching of the input method of my keyboard to Japanese. I sometimes switch when I am typing in Japanese, and it seems to add this OemF1 to it, some kind of software thing. Still, wonder if I can disable it...

Edit: Maybe not. Issue still occurs. I just ended up adding both triggers to everything e.g. Ctrl+F1 and Ctrl+F1+OemF1.
