Do you have a keyboard sold in a different country than the language setting in Windows and/or Photoshop?

 

This is normally handled seamlessly in Windows if you set it up accordingly, but it can trip up.

This is where you set it:

 

And you can keep it in the taskbar for easy check:

 

And again, as I said all along - I have no idea if this is the problem you're having. It's just a possibility. There could be other problems, like some app hijacking your shortcuts. That also happens a lot.


still doesnt help, anything more i can do to use photoshop or i need to move to another program?

Do you have a secoandary keyboard you can test Photoshop with?
Also, do you have a tablet connected to the computer?

Try turning off/on the Caps Lock and see if it helps.
