so I set it when the mouse was plugged in the touchpad was disabled but
still works when the mouse is not used.

Yeah, just looked it up. It's Fn F3.

I'll have a play with it later, see how it goes. I'm hoping that it's the cause
of the cursor moving around the place and placing it paragraphs above where I'm
typing, or when whole sections of text get highlighted, that sort of thing.

If it's still doing it with the track/touchpad disabled then we have a problem
with the keyboard, and one that came out of the box.
