[QUOTE="djames42, post: 326034, member: 13241"] I kinda wondered why Apple had done this as well. I'd guess however that if we set up a poll to query how many of us had more than one keyboard input set, we'd probably find a very large majority of people have only one, and are thus not affected by the duplicate shortcut. I personally have four in my menu: U.S. (and am very familiar with the alt-shortcuts for the stuff on a U.K. keyboard, such as £ and €), ITABC (for Simplified Chinese via Pinyan), plus Hiragana and Katakana (which I almost never use and will probably remove). I type in Pinyan seldomly enough that I've left the existing command-space shortcut in place for Spotlight, and just select ITABC from the menu when I need it. After reading this thread however, now I know why command-space did not work on my Mini when I upgraded from Panther to Tiger, as I'd already enabled the international options prior to the upgrade. Never had occurred to me before! [/QUOTE]
