commands not functioning

[Julia123]

For a long time now, both my 'control-command-D' for duplicate track, and 'shift-Q' for calling up the Quicktime window, have not worked. Both are accurate in the commands window and are alone with nothing competing with them. Does anyone know why these won't work for me? Thank you.

It is possible that there is something in the Mac OS that is competing for them.

Check in System Preferences/Keyboard/Shortcuts tab

and see if the commands you list are somehow overridden there.

If you have another utility that employs keyboard macros or shortcuts like KeyRemap4MacBook that might also be stealing your thunder.

Apple should probably include some kind of utility that has an OS based "Shortcut Checker" where you type in some key command within the checker and it tells you if it is being used, or has a default use.

A little late to this post but the "Duplicate Track" command "control-command-D" has never worked for me - nothing happens. No conflicts that I'm aware of. Trashing preferences makes no difference. "Shift-Q" which I never use, correctly brings up the "QuickScribe Editor" which is what it is assigned to.

Thanks, I thought that was going to be it! I never noticed those commands there before but none of them are conflicting.

Well at least I'm not alone! Thanks. I did eventually find what was wrong with shift-Q.
