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!

Nope it doesn't matter if keyboard commander is on or off. On Dec 4, 2013, at 3:59 AM, Red.Falcon velocity.focu...@virginmedia.com wrote: Hi!

Re: Option Key Not Working
You shouldn't really be able to navigate with cmd-left and right 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
What I meant was that you couldn't do the same navigation with cmd-arrow as you can with option-arrow.
