Great trick to play on coworkers
What is the result? I get nothing. If I hold alt and press a direction it function in place of the back key but thats it...
...
Well, maybe it doesnt work on he computers in your call center, but normally it should flip the screen sideways
...
What you're trying to accomplish also (if not mainly) works with holding down ctrl and alt and scrolling up or down with the mouse wheel.
...
ummok whats the ponit of it? the letters got big on one part of a page??? 😕
...
It should also work with the down arrow, and flip the screen upside down, the best part is that the mouse reacts as the screen looks
...
Hm, I'm on XP as well and all it does is allow me to scroll up and down the page if I use the up and down key or nothing with left and right. I'm also using logitech peripherals for my key board and mouse, since it has its own software it may interfere with what I we are trying to accomplish.
...
Does nothing when I do it. If I do it on a web screen, it highlights the file button or if on just the regular computer screen it highlights a shortcut. I want flippage here!!!! haha.
...
Try it on other computers, most PC's will do it, but it seems that the funcionality has been removed on your call center computers. It does work on the computers in the store I work in.
...
My store also does computer repair, and occasionally I get a frantic customer who's accidentally hit that set of keys and is afraid their computer will explode or something. They always look all embarrassed when I explain how to fix it. 🤣
...
The way I found out is, I used to work in an office where we were supposed to lock our computers any time we left our desk. There was one guy who would sneek into someones cube if they did not lock their computer and do that trick. The first time it happend to me, he did it and left for a meeting. I was trying to work with the screen flipped for a couple hours before he came back and fixed it
...
thats how we would do it. just substitute the delete for right, left, or down arrow.
...
ive had plenty, but it makes my day when they get mad and its not our fault. im in DOA and lost and stolen!
