Clearing Remapped Keys & Macros on Gateway 2000 Anykey Keyboard
Many Gateway 2000 systems were shipped with Anykey keyboards. These are identified by the presence of extra cursor keys pointing in diagonal directions and also extra keys such as PROGRAM MACRO, SUSPEND MACRO, REMAP, and REPEAT RATE.
These keyboards are programmable - any of the keys can be reprogrammed as macros or can be remapped to other keys. Most people do not use these features, but it is VERY common to find that any number of keys have been accidentally remapped.
To clear all macros and remappings:
Press CTL-ALT-SUSPEND MACRO.
The Program light on the keyboard will blink a few times for a few seconds and all macros and remappings are then cleared.
If the Program light does not blink when pressing CTL-ALT-SUSPEND MACRO, the CTL or ALT keys may be remapped. To reset them:
1. Press REMAP once
2. Press CTL twice
3. Press ALT twice
4. Press REMAP once
5. Press CTL-ALT-SUSPEND MACRO to clear all macros.
