Hi,

Since a few days, when I type the point (.) on the numeric keypad,
everytime, I obtain a window with:

Impossible to launch  the shortcut "KP_Decimal".
The execution of the son process "." failed
(permission not allowed)

Can anybody give me a solution to have again the "."
on the numeric keypad ?
I didn't find any answer on internet.

Thank you for your help
Roger

It sounds like a shortcut has been set up for that key. Which desktop are
you running? Have you reconfigured anything lately. What have you
installed or updated before this started?

Have you tried another (differnt make/model) keyboard? If you get
the same problem,it is software related, if it goes away, then
you are good to go.

In Parameters Keyboard Settings I found a line with

Command  .   and shortcut  .

I removed it, and now it's ok.

Thank you for your answers
