When typing on laptop hand hits something, screen changes,lose current page??
When typing on my laptop keyboard, sometimes the palm of my hand will hit some keys, don't know what or where, and my page might change or I lose what I have typed. Does this have anything to do with the "hot keys" on my key board for my Toshiba computer? Should I or can I turn off hot keys to avoid this? Please help as it is very frustrating when in the middle of something.

I found on my laptop that the touch pad was interfering too much when I was typing so I started using a USB mouse and disabling the pad. It didn't stop all the behaviour you describe, but it has cut it down considerably. Now the only time this problem occurs is when I am being klutzy with my typing, such as hitting the Enter key when I want the right Shift key.
Hope this helps some.
