For old keyboards you want to deal with a company that repairs them

Where have all the keyboard shortcuts gone? The list in v8 is

not working.
Basics such as Edit Wife (E - W) and Edit Husband (E - H) appear to have

They have gone. One by-product of the change to the Ribbon control we
use in Legacy 8 is that we can no longer use those old two letter
shortcuts and now can only use Function Key, Alt-Key or CTRL-Key
shortcuts as documented in the Help.

Thanks for the quick response, Brian.
Your answer is very disappointing, though. I much prefer keyboard
shortcuts to reaching for the mouse or trackpad.
This might be a deal-breaker for me. I'll have to think about it. Quite
happy with v7.5, so have no qualms about continuing to use it for now
As I understand it from the programmer's explanation during the beta
testing, we cannot trap (technical term for capturing for a special
purpose) standard key presses and pass those on to implement the ribbon
functions.
Making a suggestion is unlikely to change anything since what you will

I've just re-read the thread below, and I appreciate that the old
single-letter-single-letter shortcuts might not be able to be restored,
that those functions would have to be reassigned to other key
combinations.
A small correction - Ctrl-X is CUT, not delete.
Effectively the same, if all you want to do is remove a block of text.
But if you want to shift it to another location, then you want to CUT it
