Fixing Unintended Browser Back Arrow Key Action

AI Thread Summary

Enabling dead keys allows for the typing of accented characters like ç, é, è, and ñ. However, using Alt codes can conflict with browser shortcuts, such as pressing Alt + 4, which navigates back a page instead of inputting the desired character. To resolve this issue, users may need to adjust their keyboard settings or disable conflicting browser shortcuts. Additionally, dead keys may stop functioning due to changes in keyboard layout or settings, requiring a reconfiguration to restore their functionality.

can I stop this?

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
