Help please - lost my shortcuts!

[Yelena123]

I am not sure if anybody else has experience this problem before, but it looks like I’ve lost functionality of my Shift, Option, Control and Apple in combination with others when I am working in Creative Suite.

For example to zoom in in InDesign I usually use Apple + Space bar + mouse. nowI am forced constantly switch between hand and zoom tools in all three apps I am using everyday (InDesign, Photoshop & Illustrator).

Or in Illustrator when drawing a shape I would hold Shift to constrain the proportions but it no longer happens and pressing the Shift doesn’t do anything.

I’ve reset all the defaults in every possible Preference window (including Mac OS) but it still didn’t fix the problem. I didn’t do anything out of ordinary when it first occurred so not sure what could have cause it in a first place?

Does anybody can recommend anything other when re-installation please?

You help will be immensely appreciated.


I am using Creative Suite 2 on Mac OS X 10.4.7

Thank you!

Regards,
Yelena

Tried trashing your preferences?

You might also repair permissions in the Disk Utility before trashing preferences...then you won't lose any prefs you've set. Generally, when things start going wonky in an app, I repair permissions, and run a free utility called MacJanitor...hope that helps!
