[QUOTE="MHMac, post: 1950178, member: 423770"] Hi, the facts - Excel for Mac 2024 V16.95.4 - Macos Sequoia 15.3.2 - MacBook Pro with M4 pro - 48Gb Memory The problem ... I'm working with excel macros (which are quite complex) and have been experiencing a problem with "key mapping" around the CMD key. In Excel Debug - happily stepping into and over subs (CMD-SHFT-I or CMD-SHFT-O). After a little while (not preceise or similar times) I will press CSI/CSO and all I get is the letter "I" or "O". At this point if I switch to anything else (Textedit for example) and try and use the CMD key - CMD-C for CMD-V for example - all I get is the character (C or V) and not the function. Basically - the CMD key no longer works. I have only one keyboard mapping different from standard Sequoia - Screenshot is now Shift-F15 (avoids a key which I keep hitting by mistake). The partial resolutions .... a) If I am "lucky" it is just shut down excel (and quit) and then restart. b) Otherwise it is completely restart the MacBook. (a) is a pain especially if I have quite a few "Watches" in the debug window - all have to be setup again. (b) is just totally Waaaaaaaaaahhhhh !!! Has anybody else seen this behaviour ? Does anyone have a permenant solution or pointers ? Anything else I can check to determine the root cause ? I've only recently moved from Win to MacOS and I am not thrilled by the idea that I will have to maintain a Windows machine just to edit excel or that I have to put a Parallels VM on my MacBook for the same purpose. Any and all comments gratefully received, cheers Mike. [/QUOTE]
