Keystrokes Not Registering

Anonymous
Not applicable
Okay, I ranting because this just happened to me two times in a row. I hate it when ArchiCAD won't register my command keystrokes. I wanted to move a selection set so I hit CTRL+D, then selected the first point and it threw out the selection set -- I wasn't in the command. So I paid slightly close attention and it did it again. It wasn't until I hit CTRL+D five consecutive times (I was upset) that it finally worked.

I have noticed this problem a lot over the last few months. I thought it was just me, but other users around here are having the same problem.

Is any body else experiencing this?

This sounds more like a bug than a wish.

If we vote for it, does that mean we want to have this problem as well?

Well put Tom.

Let's all try to make sure that a wish really is a wish before posting it. Unless you're sure that ArchiCAD cannot do something, please post it as a question in another forum before posting it as a wish.

Maybe the keyboard is messed up? Spill any coffee on it recently?

Okay, I wish Graphisoft would fix this because it happens to almost everybody in our office quite frequently.

How does that affect the letter keys? I'm not getting the correlation.

Num Lock is always on for me ... I couldn't bear to enter numbers without touch typing on the numeric pad ... and I haven't had a problem. So, is this a Mac thing?
