I can type the end bracket, however > and I can copy and paste it, so getting by. Has anyone else encountered this, and how do I fix it. It is def slowing me down. Thank you.

I can't reproduce the problem on my end.

Can you type left and right < > chevrons in other apps?

Have you tried Restoring DW Preferences?

I'm guessing you have an unclosed tag somewhere in your markup that's causing DW to choke.

Validate code and fix reported errors. Window > Results > Validation. Check current document.

Thank you for your reply. I have tested multiple documents and created a New Document (html). None type <. I notice, when typed, it pops me to the bottom of the page (of all documents tested). This happens on html, ccs, and txt docs opened in Dreamweaver. I wonder if its a problem with my keyboard, but that key works in the content area, just not the code side. I'm running Split view, Design mode.
