My laptop's left "CTRL" key is not working when I use keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V. It also doesn't work in Firefox. I can't use shortcuts for things like switching tabs (Ctrl+Tab), closing them (Ctrl+W), or opening new ones (Ctrl+T). But the CTRL key on my right side works fine. Why is this happening to my laptop keyboard? How do I fix the left one so it works again?

Have you tried pressing Control, Alt, and Delete together?

Looks like your left Control key isn't working right now. What computer model are you using?
