G50vt problem

Hey, i've been gaming alot lately, and today i pressed some weird combo of keys (no idea which, like ctrl,alt, x,z around that area)... and now it comes up with a textbox in the upper left corner, with i think japanese symbols below. i know this issue has been addressed before, but i think it was addressed in the threads with 100+ posts, and i dont know what it is called exactly to search for it efficiently.

if someone knows of this thing, can you refresh my memory of what it is called, and how to remove it (i think its a hotkey-combo right?)..

Cheers,

 

Are you referring to Fn+G? That's the only 'weird' aka undocumented keystroke. I don't know about Japanese characters though...

 

no... theres some software installed, and some combination brings it up.. and every keystroke types into a textbox in the upper left corner.. i'll c if i can screenshot it,

i'm sure its documented, but yeah, presently plowing through the hundreds of pages of reviews etc, as i presume that was where i saw someone say what it is, and how to overcome it.

 

You accidentally activated the language tool bar by pressing ctrl + space bar.
Go to your language options in your control panel and remove all language settings except for english.

 

ah well, just alt tabbed back into crysis, and it seems its gone now. guessing alt tabbing fixed it.. but im sure i'll run into it again in the future, so if some1 knows what it is, please explain, and i'll then see if i can recreate it to screenshot it.

 

Thanks David... its silly that its such an easy thing to accidentally press..

*hmm, it doesnt seem to want to do it by pressing Ctrl-Space.

 

If you're talking about the language bar, I think it's left alt + shift by default, not ctrl + space.... you can kill it by going to the control panel to regional settings and removing the hotkey settings so that it doesn't happen again

 

Oh my gosh, you are a God David.
I have been having that problem for ages and couldn't figure out what keystroke was toggling it. Normally my pride would be hurting that it was so easy to fix, but i don't care. This is awesome...

 

Thanks, but I think AllurGroceries is right. It's left shift + left alt that will activate the language switch.
Either way, it can be disabled through your control panel.

 

Actually it was both shortcuts, but the ctrl+space was the one that was giving me problems. In left 4 dead i would press ctrl to talk and space to jump and it would instantly lag cause it was converting all my keystrokes to Chinese.

Anyway I turned it off and it works great, thanks guys!
