Ctrl and fn keyboard shortcuts don't work after update

After I updated today (list of updated packages below), all gnome keyboard shortcuts that use the ctrl or fn key stopped working completely. What could cause this? I've never had any problems with these keys in linux before and they all work out of the box, today is the first time I've had any issue.

  • "Next" and "previous" keyboard shortcuts don't work

    Why won't these keyboard shortcuts work for me? THey're indicated in the drop-down "View" menu as an alternative way of navigating backwards and forwards, but *nothing happens* when I try to use them.
    Why not?

    I have nearly the same problem, except that "previous" does work for me, but not next. I checked in the Keyboard preference pane and there do not appear to be any conflicting commands there.

    You need to edit your network preferences to order the network selection list.  Goto this support page  Using network locations (Mac OS X v10.6 and later) and edit your selection list.

  • Illustrator Zoom and Grabber Hand shortcuts don't work

    Hi There,
    This morning I opened Illustrator and some of the keyboard shortcuts had stopped working - specifically:
    Spacebar = Grabber Hand
    Zoom In = Command Spacebar
    Zoom Out = Command Option Spacebar
    Is there a way to reset this to make these work again?
    Also, if there's a shortcut or key combination that changed the defaults in the first place, is there a way to turn it off?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers

    When shortcuts stop working it's generally due to some third party application which has commandeered the shortcuts and refuses to let them go. Common culprits are Microsoft applications, Intuit applications, and some VPN applications. Make certain, if you are running any of this software, you've updated tot eh latest versions. You can test this by simply restarting the system. If the Illustrator shortcuts work after a reboot, then you absolutely have an issue with some third party application.

  • Since I updated to Yosemite, keyboard shortcuts don't work in Safari

    I use Yosemite 10.0.2 and Safari shortcuts are unresponsive. What to do?

    Howdy peze,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s an issue with keyboard shortcuts in one specific app, Safari, since upgrading to OS X Yosemite. Take a look at the article linked below which describes a similar issue and walks you through the process of identifying conflicting keyboard shortcuts.

  • Keyboard shortcuts don't working.

    I used to my keyboard shortcuts at my mac, iphone and ipad bur my mac book don't work any more with this shortcuts. All my settings are ok on my iphone and ipad but it don't syncronize.
    Some onde can help me with this?

    Your user account is not named Administrator, though, is it? You probably don't have the built-in Administrator account turned on (it's off by default). See Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable - Windows 7 Help Forums and Elevated Command Prompt - Windows 7 Help Forums for directions on how to turn this account on and off.
    Before you do that, though, you can try some other things. Go to your current user account, as directed in the previous post, and rename the two Adobe folders, reboot and restart ID. New folders should be created, and hopefully the permissions will be correct. If the shortcuts still are not there.
    If that doesn't work, delete or rename the new Adobe folders created in the previous attempt, go to Users in Control Panel and create a new user account with and make it an administrator, then log on with that account and start InDesign. If the shortcuts work, copy the Adobe folders to your original user account.
    Still not working? Make sure you are logged in on your regular account. On each of the two Adobe folders in your user profile right-click and choose Properties, then the Security tab. Verify that your user and System both have full control.
    Still not working? Time to activate the Administrator Account.
    Set a Restore Point before you do any of this stuff, just in case....

  • Keyboard shortcuts don't work in Firefox 9.0.1 on Mac OS 10.7.2

    I've just bought a new MacBook Air with Mac OS Lion for the first time. No keyboard shortcuts work in Firefox 9.0.1 with a fresh install. Command-T or W or N or CXZ - none of them do anything. They all flash the appropriate menu bar (so the word File in the menu flashes when I press Cmd-T) but nothing happens.
    If I open the menu first and then press the shortcut it works.

    If anyone is interested in this on the Firefox team - I found I can make shortcuts work by pressing the Fn key at the same time (so Fn-Cmd-T for a new tab). I tried Beta and Aurora and the same thing occurs on both of those. It's a bit annoying but I guess I'll get used to it.

  • Mac mini won't boot - keyboard shortcuts don't work

    Older Intel Mac Mini that I use as an entertainment / movie center. Leopard.
    I did a software update recently, but somehow botched it and interrupted the process.
    Ever since then, it won't start up correctly. It chimes, disk powers up, but then it gets stuck on the screen with the apple and rotating propeller. Can go on for hours if you let it.
    Took it to a dealer, who said it started up fine from another system an I should try starting it in target disk mode an reinstall the OS.
    Bought a USB keyboard specifically so I could press the T and tried it.
    It seems that none of the keyboard shortcuts work. I tried target disk mode (T), starting from a system disk (C), tried having it give me a choice of bootable volumes (Option) - nothing. It would appear the Mini doesn't recognize my brand new Apple USB keyboard.
    Tried the keyboard with my MacBook and there it works fine.
    Any ideas?

    OK, just found the answer while browsing the "more like this" answers that appeared after I posted my question.
    I wasn't aware that the new Apple Aluminium Keyboard doesn't play nice with the Mini and that the Mini doesn't recognize this particular keyboard in time for the boot sequence.

    Using the remote (press the menu key during boot-up) worked fine and I could choose to boot from a system disk.
    Spending $60 for a new keyboard that won't do what I bought it for is, however, another story. Grr.

  • DW CS3 / OS 10.5 - File Palette keyboard shortcuts don't work

    Frustrating - on my Dell, I can use the keyboard to
    delete/confirm and open files listed in the File Palette. For
    example, I can hit backspace/delete and remove a file after
    confirming with an Enter. If I want to open a file, I select it and
    hit enter - it opens in DW.
    The problem lies with my other (preferred) computer. On my
    MBPro with OS10.5 and DW CS3, none of my keyboard shortcuts work in
    the same palette.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Pete

    When watching videos, I frequently find need to jump forward or backward within the video. I do this using the slider (playhead) on the on screen control.
    The problem I have is that if I do that once, from then on, I cannot use the spacebar to play/pause the video. All I get is an annoying beep. Is there a way to reactivate the keyboard controls without having to close Quicktime and restart?
    If it makes any difference, I'm running OS X 10.9 on an early 2013 MacBook Pro (15 inch, Retina display). I recently upgraded to Mavericks but the problem predates the upgrade.
    What files compression formats and data rates are you using? QT X v10.3 or QT 7 v7.6.6 player? (Assume v10.3 from topic title but wanted to confirm.)
    Basically, I am unable to duplicate the stated problem on an iMac using H.264/AAC test files with data rates up to 20+ Mbps in either QT player app. Do have a problem with QT 7 player app being able to "jump" to a new playhead position in high data rate files probably due to a need to read/traverse all of the intervening data. (I.e., can sometimes take several seconds to complete.)
    If you feel the problem is a bug connected to your specific platform or the specific type of file you are using while operating under Mavericks, suggest you file a QT Apple Product "Bug" Feedback Report USING THIS FORM.

  • F7 and F8 Keyboard shortcuts won't work correctly.

    I've just recently installed LR3.6 and it's my first experience with LR.  I've been following Lynda.com tutorials and all of a sudden the F7 and F8 function keys won't work.
    The F7 just does nothing and the F8 opens iTunes every time I press it.  I've tried everthing I know (not being much of a Techie) without success.  I installed one upgrade download since I installed the original CD software. Should I just delete the program and re-install the program?  I believe the F-keys were woking originally.  I'm sorry, but I was going thru the tutorials and not being as observant as I should.  All I know for certain is that they do not work now.
    I'm using an iMac 27 with the wireless keyboard. OSX 10.6.8.
    Thanks for any help. - John, Vancouver, WA

  • Keyboard shortcuts no longer work after upgrade to ios 6

    After upgrading to iOS 6, the keyboard shortcuts on my iPhone 4S no longer work.  Not only that I can't change them either.  If I add or delete a shortcut, it simply goes back to the way it was when I exit the settings and go back in.   My iPad 2 doesn't have this problem, only my iPhone 4S.
    I tried restarting as well as doing a reset (hold home and power button).
    Any idea how to fix this? 

    If you want to go through all the steps I took:
    1. Restart
    2. Soft reset (hold home and power until Apple logo appears)
    3. Reset keyboard dictionary
    4. Reset all settings
    5. Clear autofill
    Only after the last step did things start working.  Prior to that I couldn't make any changes I made to the keyboard shortcuts stick, though every now and then changes would take.  Sometimes trying to delete a shortcut would crash the settings app.  In all cases the shortcuts didn't work.

  • Zoom keyboard shortcut does not work after GB '09 upgrade

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and iLife 09 and immediately noticed the keyboard shortcut for zooming in Garageband '09 has gone away. The doc says it changed from (Control-Arrow) to (Option-Control-Arrow) but neither one works. What's up? Is this a bug, a conflict, or an I/O (ignorant operator) issue?

    Nope - there is no Zoom keyboard shortcut in GB '09, but you can still access the feature from the 'Window' menu.

  • 5800 expressmusic functions don't work after updat...

    Hi!
    I bought my 5800 expressmusic, and was glad for it, until i updated it first time. After the first update all the shortcuts and functoins on the background didn't work. I could live with that, so I waited for the next update.
    Now i've updated it again, now the functions didn't work before, they work now, but now the musicplayer don't work probably. I can go into the musicplayer, but when i try to update the library and get the music from my SD card into the player like I used to do.. It only finds about 20 songs of 180 songs..
    Anybody now how I can solve this problem? 
    Thanks

    it's usually good to do a reset after an update;
    Soft reset (reformat). Type *#7370# and the phone's lock code (Nokia default lock code is 12345). Soft reset wipes the C drive.
