Q:

I’m using the following keys for movement:

up arrow = forward
down arrow = backward
left arrow = turn in place to the left
right arrow = turn in place to the right
spacebar = jump

When I go forward and turn to the left, I cannot jump. I can jump with all other combinations of keys: right-forward, right-back, and left-back. It doesn’t matter which key I press first.

Help? I’m using a Dell 8115 keyboard.
Thanks.

Edit: Forgot to add, all strafes/movement/jump combos work as expected. Also, tried restoring defaults and it still did not work.

Often times when certain key combinations don’t work it’s the fault of the keyboard due to how the keys are scanned. That is every key isn’t wired in separately but in groups and each group can only register one key press. That may not be your problem per se but it’s something gamers should realize.
