Hey guys,

I looked this topic up at google and the forum search but I found no solution. I am using a 2012 rMBP and have a Dell monitor connected to it and use an external keyboard (apple) and the magic trackpad from apple.

Problem:
Somehow - suddenly - my external keyboard started acting weird. I came so far that I determined that the key are mapped wrong (see attachment).

How can I fix this problem?

In addition, the (external) trackpad also stopped to recognize things like swiping up with four fingers etc. But that seems to be fixed for the moment.


Thank you for your advice.



EDIT:
My trackpad is acting weird, too. Again. For example, it hides windows when I click on them. So annoying.

EDIT 2:
I think the trackpad is acting weird after I use the (weird) external keyboard. When I unplug the keyboard, it's acting normal again.


EDIT 3:

Solved. The alt-key was stuck... *cough*
