A fellow co worker just bought a new Imac sth and installed the AC v.13 greek. We cannot use any of the known shortcuts such as ctrl +D (drag) ctrl +A (select all) and F5 and everything. I dont know what to do, when I go to shortcuts it doesnt let me push the buttons to specify a new shortcut for anything but when I click on the show all available shortcuts the list contains everything as it was always.
Anyone ??

BUT, because of the difference in placement of these keys relative to the main keyboard, whomever is working on the mac should develop shortcut keys that don't contort his/her hand.
This feature allows everyone to use the keyboard shortcuts that fit their hand when office standards don't work.

Hello everyone!

In case you feel inclined to blame Apple for the difference, don't forget that the Mac keyboard shortcuts were developed long before Windows existed. I think some of the default keyboard shortcuts are really painful too, and I've changed many of them.

Look under the icon in your menu for System Preferences.

A new & reset will result in the default AC template file being the open active pln but with your most recent active WE still active.
