Question

Division Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

Everytime I press the / key on my keyboard (which should be the hotkey for the division operator), Mathcad outputs " é " instead. How do I get it to do what it originally does again?

Thank You

Which keyboard layout are you using?

Which "/" are you pressing - numeric keypad or "normal" part of the keyboard?

Is it a Mathcad specific problem? Does the "/" key work as expected in a word processor or in notepad?

I'm just using the standard US keyobard layour. I'm pressing the normal key with / and ? on it. And yes, it shows up as a / everywhere else I type, just on Matchad it shows up as é for whatever reason.

Which version are you using? That will help narrow the search efforts.

For example:

In MC15 a ? used in a math region is the derivative shortcut, while in P3 the stroke returns just a ?. You have to use Cntrl Shift D in P3.
