Shortcut for the return key?
Hi Everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an alternative key command for the return key because my return key is broken as you can all probably tell from the way my opening introduction is on the same line as the rest of my text lol, Any help with this is greatly appreciated

Assuming you're using a normal keyboard, you can temporarily use the Enter key on the numberpad.

Or you can use the on-screen keyboard - Programs /Accessories / Accessibility.

Have you tried gently prising the key off, cleaning under it and making sure correct contact is made?

I don't understand. If it works, then what is the problem?

Can you not use the System Restore to go back before that programme was installed?

If you have nothing helpful or constructive to add then please don't. And if you read my opening post you would have seen that i phrased it as "alternative key command" so before you try to look cleaver perhaps you should read first before leaving comments you feel are cleaver.

You can get basic keyboards for a few quid, surely that's easier than the hassle of dealing with a broken key?
