While i was training, i went into my inventory to do something, after, i press ESC, but instead of the inventory window closing, maplestory minimized. I thought that i held alt by accident so i tested it again, maplestory minimized again ._. When i press tab, it alt tabs and when i press enter, maplestory goes into small screen. Something is wrong with my keyboard and it only seems to happen when i play maplestory (after i close maplestory, the alt is still "jammed" so i need a system reboot to fix it), does anyone know how to fix this problem? I have a macbook, any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Try removing the key, and see if there's something stuck in there.

nothing's stuck there, many people have this prob, including myself. i try pressing alt a few times, sometimes it works if not then u just gotta restart

Something similar happens to me aswell. I think its mainly on laptop and notebooks. What i do is simply tab alt, then switch users. Go back in, and it works fine afterwards.

The alt isn't physically jammed, and i can jump in maple, move, attack perfectly but i just can't chat or press esc to close a window ._.

Hmm I had that once too (with Grand Chase) Try turning of sticky buttons (or something like that) If your keyboard is set to another language then it is meant for press ctrl+shift I think that helped me. If you think your alt button is the problem. Just get a screwdriver and get the cap off the alt button off and check if the button is stuck. Unstuck it if it is. When everything else fails just google it ^^

no clue what causes this but alot of pple are having this including myself. (and its on all pc's not just notebooks etc :B) i usually solve it by spamming alt+enter or shift+enter forget which and it usually fixes itself. and i havent had it happen for a week now so no clue. id really like to kno what causes it, but no clue. its not sticky keyes because all functions on sticky keys are removed now and its not the keyboard because if u open onscreen keyboard and onplug ur keyboard and hit keys on it this does the same thing(for me anyways) i never tried to unplug and repluig the keyboard to see if that fixes it but i kno spamming those keys does. still fingering out the cause =x its recent so it must be something from the patch, it did it with gg so its not the shield lol. edit; i just realized it stopped doing it after i changed the windows mode settings for maplestory in the game. i clicked for it to use window mode whileas before nothing was checked. perhaps theres a prob with that? ill have to switch it back and see if i get it again.

It's not recent. It has happened to me with gameguard. It's something to do with the client or your system reading the alt key as pressed. I usually have to do some weird combination of holding down the alt key, going in and out of maplestory, and releasing it.

So if that happens, do i just hold alt and alt tab in and out of maple to fix it?
