  • Command key problem in Illustrator

    Posted by Meeroo Sareew on July 4, 2006 at 2:30 pm

    When I hold Command key in Illustrator (on Mac), it is changing every tool into Selection tool. This would be ok, but cause of that no shortcuts with Command key is working (e.g. close window, close program, new, save, save as, hide Illustrator…).
    Did anyone had same problem? I tried reinstalling but it didn’t help. Can I turn of that option somewhere?

    Mac: Quad 2.5 + OS 10.4.6 + Final Cut Studio HD + Multibridge Extreme + Sony DVW-M2000P
    PC: Xeon 3.00GHz + Premiere Pro 1.5 + Decklink Extreme + Sony UVW-1800p + Sony HVR-M10E

    Illustrator switching to the selection tool when holding down command, is a normal function. Take a look at your edit >> keyboard shortcuts, to see if there si a problem. Do you keyboard shortcuts work in other programs?

    You may want to reset your illustrator preferences by booting illustrator and immediately aftwerards holding down Command Shift Option >> the choose reset prefs.
