Re: Option Key Not Working
What I meant was that you couldn't do the same navigation with cmd-arrow as you can with option-arrow.

Re: Option Key Not Working
Why shouldn't I be able to navigate with that? That is the shortcut for umping to the beginning or end of a line. I figured out this problem, anywya.

Re: Option Key Not Working
You shouldn't really be able to navigate with cmd-left and right arrow.

Re: Option Key Not Working
Hi! OK just a couple of ideas! 1, do you have both option keys set to use with keyboard commander! 2, Just try switching off keyboard commander with VO+shift+k and see if the option key things like € • and others! I've found if you need to use those items it is best to toggle on or off keyboard commander when needed!
