Hi Mary
Many thanks for your suggestions and I also note David's comments-I'll play around with the settings and experiment. best wishes Henry -----Original Message----- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: 30 October 2014 21:10 To: OS X & iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: [Mac-access]: Right command and option keys not functioning? Hi Henry, If you don't want to use the keyboard commander, then it should be unchecked. And I think in that case it doesn't matter if you have option keys checked or not since keyboard commander wouldn't be working. But I could be wrong. You could experiment and uncheck the option keys and see if that makes a difference, but I think it won't. Sorry I can't be of more help.
