No capital q
I don't know if this thread belongs on General Discussion, Mac Software, Genius Bar, or Mac OS X. Genius bar is the place for support/help requests, moved accordingly - Mr. H
On my iMac, pressing Shift -q doesn't create a capital q; in fact, it doesn't do anything.
I have looked at every keyboard short cut item I could find using spotlight. I cannot find any short-cut using Shift-q.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can return a capital q? Or find the possible short-cut.

QQQQQ Yep. My face is red; however, still no Q when I use shift-q,
I've been trying to find if that is a keyboard shortcut, but no luck so far.
Thanx
There is no other shortcut other than shift- so you can ease up on that search :-)
cheers
Then I think that you must have a bit of cr@p stuck under the shift key.

No, I don't think so as neither shift key will produce a capital q and the shift keys produce a capital for every other letter.
Try:
Click on your Apple menu and scroll down to: System Preferences...
In System Preferences, click once on: Speech.
In the Speech window, click on the second tab named: Text to Speech.
Under Text to Speech, beneath the System Voice and the Speaking Rate, there are three check boxes:
Announce when alerts are displayed
Announce when an application requires your attention
Speak selected text when the key is pressed
Is Speak selected text when the key is pressed ticked?
Hope this helps!
Sounds like somehow the Shift + q key combination has been assigned to something other than a capital Q. I found this forum post elsewhere, it's worth a shot.
Hope this helps!
Certainly worth a shot in this case. That IS the answer to my problem.
Thanks, I never thought to check 'Speech'. What forum did you find the post on?
You've paid your 'dues' already. I'm not aware of anybody solving a problem on their first post.

Thanks, I can't list the forum's URL because I did that in my initial post which got me instantly perma-banned and I had to recreate a second account to try again without linking the URL. But it was an Australian website dedicated to all things Mac.
