My backspace key doesn't work D: I can't use backspace anywhere, except for a game called League of Legends, which seems to use a different set of key configurations(not sure, just a macro works on everything but on the game). I thought it was a problem with Windows, but several times I pressed backspace on Mozilla, it gave me a request to close the browser. The "Are you sure you want to close x amount of tabs?" I've been dealing with this problem for quite awhile, and I searched up all over the internet. After looking through a lot of stuff, I think the problem might be in one of the advanced settings of Firefox that change what a key does. My on-screen keyboard doesn't work with backspace either D: I've tried refreshing Firefox, messing a bit with the registry, and with some keyboard remappers. When I set delete to play the backspace function, it still doesn't work. Sorry if this isn't a problem with firefox D: Thanks! :D

It is possible that the keyboard layout has been switched by accident by using the key sequence to change the keyboard layout.

Hey, sorry for responding so late, I followed the article, and tried switching to a different keyboard, but the backspace still doesn't work D: Looking at the properties of the US Keyboard, the keyboard format is different from my Standard PS/2 Keyboard. I'll try more tomorrow, like looking up what the different numbers mean on the Keyboard Sequence options, thanks for your help so far! :D

I toggled the key sequences, from disabled to Ctrl+1, and back. Surprisingly, backspace works on Mozilla now, but not on other programs D: (Except for command prompt and League of Legends) Is the key sequence just for language layouts? Using the sequences, how do I change what a key does? Thanks again! :D
