Scissor tool works fine when selected from Tools Window but not with C keystroke.
Can anyone explain this as I prefer the C option?
Thanks

Re: Tools (Scissor tool)
Simply hold and keep letter c pressed while you cut stuff around, or, double tap it, so it sticks and you free your hand.

Thanks for suggestion. But I am doing that and it's not working!
Some kind of glitch?

Sometimes a key is prioritized for use by the system. Your profile doesn't show whether you are Mac or Windows.
If Mac, you can go to Apple Menu/System Preferences/Keyboard/Shortcuts tab and look at the various categories and see if "C" by itself is used somewhere. I don't see it anywhere in the defaults. But perhaps something is using it?

Re: Tools (Scissor tool)
After doing what Stubbsonic suggested, if it doesn't work, try changing the scissor tool to some other letter in DP's commands window (shift-L).
Also, try it with other tools to see if it works. Try letter z. The moment you press and hold it, it should turn into the zoom tool.

Re: Tools (Scissor tool)
Thanks guys. I've allocated to a different keystroke and works fine now. (On Mac BTW)
