Ortho Shift key not working correctly

Hello,

 

I'm having some trouble with ortho mode. When holding down shift key it should enable and then disable once I let go. I currently have ortho toggled off and would like it enabled when holding down shift.

Currently by default there are two shortcuts, shift and f8. The f8 shortcut does work fine. I have looked in the cui settings and both the f8 and shift shortcuts have the same options applied. After some testing, it seems to work sometimes when pushing the left and right shift keys at the same time, but it has been a bit hard to test since I only have two hands, sadly.

I know this use to work in the past but can't seem to figure it out now. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I'm currently on windows 10 64 bit, AutoCAD 2019.1 student version. I also tested on 2018 and it acted the same.

Thankyou for the answer. I found that it is a problem with HP laptops, I change to an MSI one and no problem at all.
Thankyou anyway.

Changing the value from 0 to 1 worked just fine. Thanks.

The problem with shift not toggling the ortho mode. if you have an emulated PS/2 keyboard, it's the driver. I have not found an older version to try, but if you know what you are doing you could edit the driver. Look under Device Manager and keyboards to see if you have a PS/2 keyboard driver. Let me know what you think, Larry

Same problem. This does not fix it. It's definitely some kind of update that broke it again. Mine just stopped working about a week ago or so.
