My capital i does not work if i hit SHFT + i. in fact the key won't work at all if i hold SHFT + i. If I hit caps lock, then the cap i works: IIIIII
All other caps seem ok.
The i shows up in the virtual keyboard also.
Is this a defect or is there something i can do?
Thanks

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

Thanks Niel, but that did not work.
Don't know if related or not but, in my case:
Thought it was just a transient, but just a short while ago the LED on the CAPS LOCK stopped working. The key itself worked, the rest of the keyboard worked, just no green light. So, of course, I decided to just go ahead and do the 'reboot' thing again, and sure enough ..... the little green light has gone back to work.
Mind you, I have no idea of what caused the problem, or why what I did actually resulted in fixing it, but I'm content for now with just being able to fix this. Give it a try, anyway, and good luck.
Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM.

I tried this Michael, but it didn't work. Hope yours smartens up!
Thank you, Barry! Resetting the PRAM worked!! It also was like a tune-up for the machine - everything seems to work a little better. 🙂 THANKS AGAIN!!
Chris
You are most welcome!
Glad I could help. 🙂

Hi, I had the same problem with Shift W and the answer for the new operating systems such as Mountain Lion and above is to check you have not given the SHIFT W (change with your key that doesn't work) to a program as a shortcut. I read this here in the forums somewhere and remembered I had given my desktop wall paper program a SHIFT W to change wall papers. I deleted that it that program's preferences which released that 'key combination' back to the Mac OS.🙂
My shift + i does not work, but CAPS LOCK I does work. All other cap letters ok. ??
