Can't use Caps Lock(with ctrl functionality) and press W and E at the same time

Original Title: Caps lock key problem

Recently I swapped Caps Lock key with Ctrl key. That way it would be much more convenient for me. Unfortunately I stumbled on a problem.

I can't use Caps Lock(with ctrl functionality) and press W and E at the same time. Basically whenever I hold down caps lock + W, pressing E would make this beep sound and it wouldn't work. It seems like caps lock + W does something even though I switched its functionality to ctrl. Any way to resolve that? I'm on Windows 7.

Hi,

This could be possible if CTRL or FN keys on your keyboard are stuck together.

I would request you to refer to the article below with suggestions to use keyboard shortcuts.
