multiply shortcut stops working.....?

[Jefferson]

Did a search and most of the results were Mac issues.........

I have lost my keyboard shortcut for multiply. I have a lot of custom keyboard shortcuts, have since 8.1. and they've almost always worked fine. I have tried a restart, reapplying work environment etc. Shows up in the list of shortcuts, shows up and works from contextual menu, but nothing with the key combo?? I also tried to delete and reapply the shortcut in the work environment, where it got very strange.......it wouldn't allow or "take" the input of ctrl + M.

It's only the one command, [so far as I know everything else is working fine.], multiply, .....I could reapply another combo with ctrl + _ but not ctrl + M. So how weird is this? I am confused! Any ideas what might be causing this?

Jeff,

Annoying as it is I suffer your pain but on an intermittent level. I have found a work around being to go in & change the Shortcut to an alternative set of keys (ie alt+m) & then use it at least once then change it back by selecting your enviroment & hey presto it works again for most of the rest of the day. usally plays up again if you open a second A/C.

This is a work around & not a solution. Would be pleased to hear a solution as my problem started when switched to new Computer running Windows 7 was not a problem on my old one running XP SP2

But for the Bing.

Glad you got it sorted! You know you could always use the pet palette...

Glad you found the culprit Jeff. Hope this thread helps others with a similar problem.

Wayne, is it possible you have the Bing toolbar installed in 7 unlike the earlier system? These things are very sneaky as Jeff has discovered.

Hi everyone, i'm having a similar problem.

My shortcuts don't work. I'm on Windows 7. Tryed reinstalling, but nothing.
I suspect that i have a program blocking the keys, but i don't know how to find which this program is and delete it.


Any suggestions ?

What is your OS and ArchiCAD version? (you should put them into your signature to get more accurate answers)

Are ALL your shortcuts not working or just a few?
