  Has anyone ever experienced a problem with your keyboard shortcuts getting f'ed up in photoshop (windows CS3)?

  When I start up photoshop, everything is fine. Default shortcut keys work fine.Then out of no where, the short cut keys get all fucked up. CTRL -/+ no longer zooms. CTRL - gets mapped to toggling the display of the grid. CTRL+SHIFT+I doesn't invert the current selection. Other shortcuts just don't do anything.

  I thought at first the keyboard layout got whacked system wide, but it's fine everywhere else.

  even though the file is small, I'm guessing it might have something to do with a lack of resources.

  thanks for the suggestions 7point34.

  I always have shortcut bugs in cs3. it seems a restart normally fixes it.

  I have has these issues in Indd., illy and PS. my Z and Y key switch, zoom gets fugged. Not sure what to do about this, I have searched forums, adboe's site, etc. and I cannot find anything. I had this problem with CS2 as well. I think that it has something to do with the performance of the computer. Although if you restart the program it fixes it, but then the problem can reoccur within a few seconds.

  If you find a plugin or fix, let me know!

  • will do. and yeah, i can't find shit on the forums or the knowledgebase– fugged

  trashing the prefs doesn't seem to have much affect. for the app to apply the new prefs, you have to restart the app, and just restarting alone "fixes" it temporarily.

  sweet... it gets better. these are the key mappings i'm getting. left is the key I'm pressing and right is the character it's mapped to.

  @ = "
  ^ = &
  - = '
  = = ¿
  _ = ?
  + = ¡
  & = /
  * = (
  ( = )
  ) = =

  i think you get the picture. maybe it's getting confused about locale and switching to a different keyboard layout? this is so fucking odd.

  ok - it was a regional thing.

  control panel > regional and language options > languages > details

  remove all the installed services, with the exception of the langauge you want. click apply, and all is well again...

  Do at your own risk of course... :)
