 Keyboard has mapped e to the end of q and w keys
Key, Keyboards, Laptop computers, Laptops
Interesting keyboard binding question for you: One of my users has a laptop. When he presses either the 'q' or 'w' key, an 'e' is added to the end of them. For example: q = qe , w = we This only occurs with those two keys though...I've checked the mapping, everything looks normal. I thought it was perhaps a function key combination that he enabled somehow, but I can't find the switch to turn it off. Thanks, Lordhowe

Tell the user to stop drinking coffee while the laptop is in their lap. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The button "e" is probably have one of it's clippings underneath those letters indicating the button at one time fell off and the user put it back on. I would remove it and reset it properly. 'e' is next to q and w. Very likely something is being shorted. Either you can take the keyboard apart and try to fix it, or replace the keyboard.
