    Ctrl+shift+down not working

    Hello, everyone.

    I faced an issue today. I've tried to use ctrl+shift+arrow down shortcut to select all the data in a column but it stopped working.
    That selection works with other arrows/directions but only down is disabled. The arrow key works on itself, and with shift or ctrl separately as well.
    That issue occurs everywhere, not only in Excel. Word or even here, on the forum - the same.

    I have tried to:
    • Scrolllock
    • Disable Excel add-ins
    • Disable Sticky keys
    • Transition navigation keys are unchecked
    • Disable scroll lock, in Excel (through the status bar)
    • Language change shortcut is not changed to ctrl+shift

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Are the same keys working correctly when used individually for other purposes? Like CTRL-c still works to copy, SHIFT+a gives you a capital A, down arrow moves down? Have you tried using both CTRL keys, both SHIFT keys, both down-arrow keys (if you have more than one)?

    Could be a keyboard hardware problem if this is happening in every app you try.

    Yes, I did. All keys work separately, even ctrl+arrow and Shift+arrow but not together.

    If this is happening everywhere and not just excel then it sounds like it is a hardware or software problem and not related to excel which means the fix will most likely not be Excel based.

    See if you can borrow a keyboard to swap out for diagnostic purposes. It is almost certainly a failure in your keyboard.
