Command-B became Command-X?
Am I going nuts?
After some shenanigans involving DP 8 & 9 on the same disk, and things not working right, and some reinstalling to get back to where I used to be, and maybe trashing a few files/preferences along the way....you get the idea....I was recording and went to throw away a soundbite from the tracks window, using a keyboard command I've used so many times, for so many years, it's a part of my DNA, "Command-B". But it didnt work. What?
Looking in the File menu, I see that "Cut" is now "Command-X". Ok, that's in line with a lot of other apps (well, pretty much all of them I guess), but I could swear it used to be "Command-B".
Am I losing it?
(I tell you about the shenanigans only in case something I may have trashed might be the cause)

Re: Command-B became Command-X?
I think you might be
Once upon a time Command-B worked as Delete without putting anything on the Clipboard as Command-X has (as I recall) always done, but that's been gone for a while, like since OS9 maybe?

Command-B is Bold in Quickscribe. It's "bold" in just about any app that processes text.
Maybe you customized this a very long time ago.

Re: Command-B became Command-X?
Ok, so I'm not losing it. It was that way. Command-B was "delete", with nothing on the clipboard. Whoopee!dix wrote:I think you might be![]()

But the weird part is, for me it should still be that way, since I'm still using DP8. This switch just happened, during all the DP8/9 weirdness. (I cant use DP for reasons I wont bore you with.
(And I know that keyboard commands are customizable, but hell, I dont know how to do it.
