Hi,
i have the following problems:
- "minimize window" key doesn't work at all
- "delete" key only works when "Fn" is selected, otherwise it doesn't do anything
the second issue is really annoying.
Keyboard layout in windows is correctly set, all other keys work flawlessly.
Hope someone can help.
Hey Max80,
Have just been checking/retesting both of my W2's for you. (I use mine more as remotes in conjunction with a seperate wireless keyboard. I rarely use them for typing, they're very handy for short/quick inputs but can become a bit awkward if typing anything of any length/substance.)
My minimise keys function normally & as expected on both W2's. (It actually behaves more like a hotkey/macro in that it brings up the dialog for selecting move, size, minimise, maximize, etc., before automatically selecting the minimise option. (If that makes sense!!??))
My backspace/delete keys have always behaved the same as you describe when it comes to deleting
individual text/characters. (The only workaround I've found is to first highlight a word or a selection of text, then it works without first using Fn. However, by the time you've turned the W2 over & back again to achieve that, obviously it's easier to just hit the Fn key if you just need to delete one or two characters.)
If used to delete a selected item, file, etc., however, it then functions immediately without having to first select Fn. (I.e. a file selected/highlighted in Windows explorer.)
It was always my assumption that this was intentional with two x W2's behaving the same way on two different systems. (Yes, it is vaguely annoying lol. Not quite sure why it was programmed in that manner!!??)
(I wish they'd put the fly mode button in the same position as the A series remotes as well. I'm forever exiting apps by mistake in Windows with the W2 out of habit of enabling/disabling the fly mode on an A series lol
!!)
If your minimise button is completely inoperable you may have a defective unit, but it does seem that the backspace/delete button function is intentional with the W2.
Hope that helps
