Fn key on Lenovo laptop brings up "Create Return Package" dialog in Studio 2019 Thread poster: Epameinondas Soufleros

I have just bought a new laptop computer: a Lenovo Thinkpad L580. I have installed Studio 2019 SR2. Normally, the key combination Fn+Left is equivalent to pressing the Home key, while Fn+Right is equivalent to pressing the End key. Naturally, these are two combinations I use a lot when editing text. But, in Studio, every time I press the Fn key, the "Create Return Package" dialog comes up.

I checked and there is no keyboard shortcut assigned to this action, so I can't think of a way to stop this behaviour. Can anyone replicate this? Are there any known workarounds or fixes? ▲ Collapse | | |

Do the keys work differently in other software? | | |

As I said, Fn+Left is equivalent to Home, and Fn+Right is equivalent to End. Fn by itself does nothing, obviously: it is a modifier key. Only in Trados Studio it works as if it were a normal key. | | |

This is what I thought I'd try before posting here, but then forgot to... I will do it and let you know what happened, for future reference. Thanks, Lincoln, for digging out this old forum post. Much appreciated. | | |
I confirm that by assigning a keyboard shortcut to "Create Return Package" I can now press the Fn key and nothing will happen, as expected and desired. | | |

I know this thread is a little old, but I found it via a Google search and just wanted to say that I am experiencing the same Problem. In my case, I have reassigned the Fn key to the CTRL key, so pressing this key once, the mentioned dialog comes up. I am on a Lenovo ThinkPad 480S. I'll assign a key combination so as to avoid this. Thank you, Epameinondas Soufleros, for the suggestion. | | |
And now, still a year later, I was lucky to find this thread and finally got rid of this silly little problem that forced me to change my ingrained "shortcut behavior" when using SDL. Thanks! | | |
