• Ctrl C And Ctrl V Not Working Windows 7

Suddenly today the Ctrl shortcuts do not work (Ctrl V = paste) (Ctrl C = copy) (Ctrl A = select all).I went to Tools Customize Keyboard tab. Category: EditThe Ctrl V, C and A lines had nothing in them. I added in the correct shortcut by selecting the proper word in the Function column, the clicked the 'Modify' button. I clicked OK when done.I closed Oo and reopened it, but it still doesn't work. When I went back to Tools Customize Keyboard tab Edit, the text for copy, paste and 'select all' is showing to the right of the shortcut keys.The shortcuts also don't work in Notepad and other programs. The only change I made to my computer today was to update to Firefox 4, after which time it seemed that the Ctrl shortcuts stopped working (could be a coincidence?)I'll restart my computer to see if that helps.Oo 3.3.0 build 9567.

First of them are Windows-based, standard shortcuts, such as 'Ctrl+C' and 'Ctrl+X' for copy and cut. Another one is manufacturer-based hotkeys, such as buttons to control wireless connection or volume on your laptop or PC. If standard shortcuts are not working, your system must have software-specific malfunctioning. Why does CTRL + V accidentally get disabled in Windows? Andy December 16, 2011.

Every now and again ctrl+v becomes unusable (though ctrl+x, ctrl+c continue to work).

I shut down the computer for several hours. I checked for viruses and stuff - all good. I did a disk cleanup.

I unplugged the keyboard and replugged it in. Searched online for other solutions. Nothing worked.Then I got the brilliant idea to check if the Ctrl key on the right side of the space bar works. Woo hoo, that works! So there must be something wrong with the left Ctrl key.

Maybe I wore it out, or there is dirt underneath. I guess this is solved.

Depending on the type of keyboard, one can often open the keyboard by disengaging the teeth which hold the top to the bottom, and divide the keyboard into a top with the keys, a plastic bottom, and between the top and bottom a printed circuit board and a plastic overlay membrane of big pimples which acts as the switch mechanism and spring mechanism. One can wash this membrane (a very little shampoo helps), dry it off, clean down the circuit board (I use an alcohol rub), and then brush out any crumbs and gunge from the key-unit. Then reassemble and try. It might work, but if it doesn't, well, it was broken to start with, wasn't it?

It makes for an entertaining hour or so.
