Then I remembered I had been blowing dust out of the keyboard with a powerful electric air blower. Now they are working, after pressing hard those two keys for a bit. However, you say the problem is only in TB and maybe in FFx. I would suggest restarting TB in safe mode, all the addons disabled, if any. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;
