Can't select text

Hello, I really hope this is just me, but I can’t select text in windows 7, python 3.4 using v0.9.30:

import pyautogui as p
import time as t

t.sleep(3)
p.keyDown('shift')
p.press('left')
p.keyUp('shift')

also:

p.hotkey('shift', 'left')

doesn’t work…

The sleep is to give me time to manually click into notepad where I’ve some text prepared, but am i missing something??

I know it’s a lot of time, but I spent a whole afternoon trying to solve this issue, and I wanted to be useful for future users who will face this problem as well.

Hey guys, have you checked whether you have Bloc Num enabled? I had the same issue, but I solved disabling it.
