HereвЂ™s a list of possible solutions garnered from these threads and an Adobe tech note on the problem: ItвЂ™s as if those keys (option, shift) just fail to work during certain situations.вЂќ Primarily, many key commands (constrain angle, duplicate etc.) no longer work.

HereвЂ™s a report from the Illustrator Mac forum: вЂњIllustrator CS now has many problems. The same problem is occurring in both InDesign and Photoshop.вЂќ

HereвЂ™s a common report from computer Scotland Yard: вЂњIвЂ™ve run into the problem several times in InDesign where short cut keys would just quit working and IвЂ™d have to restart to fix the problem, but this time only a few of my short cut keys will not work вЂ“ the space bar (hand tool) and zoom in & out (space/apple & space/apple/option) вЂ“ and restarting the programs and even the computer is not fixing the problem.

Relaunching InDesign usually fixes it, at least temporarily. Others in the thread report that keyboard shortcuts stop working when they switch to another application in certain circumstances, then return to InDesign. Having a backup file of the shortcuts is a good idea so you can put them in again without too much effort if they stop working.вЂќ Sometimes choosing another shortcut set than the one you use and then switch back to your regular one fixes it. Sometimes a restart of ID fixes it, sometimes not. One of the reasons for them to give up can be a newly installed script. HereвЂ™s some advice from Nini TjГ¤der who manages workstations at a newspaper in Sweden: вЂњKeyboard shortcuts giving up happens regularly with our editors (I work at a daily newspaper). This can happen when a keyboard shortcuts file gets corrupted, or when InDesignвЂ™s own preferences get mangled.

HereвЂ™s a typical report: вЂњI am using IDCS2 4.0.4 on a G5 dual 1.8 running 10.4.7 and whenever I use the print dialogue box all of my keyboard shortcuts stop working until relaunch. The first is usually easier to handle: This is when keyboard shortcuts stop working. There are actually two types of missing keystrokes reported. (I havenвЂ™t seen this in the Windows forums, but, being more of a Mac guy, I donвЂ™t spend as much time there!) Unfortunately for computer detectives, there isnвЂ™t just one solution to this mystery. Almost everyone loves a good mysteryвЂ¦except when it interferes with their daily work! One of the biggest mysteries which pops up regularly in Macintosh user forums is missing keystrokes, which disappear, sometimes regularly, sometimes sporadically.
