[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1846695, member: 76746"] Thanks Patrick for taking time to reply & offer insights. Error Of Omission: I forgot one, possibly important, clue- The Function Key quit working. I don't know if it quit at the same time as this other problem, or if it quit earlier. I don't use it terribly often. To Answer Your Quesitons- Behavior started last week. No new utilities, applications or even updates have been done since long before the problem started. It's been more than a month since last application update & about 6 months since last new application was installed. (Unless an application self-updates without my knowledge) No special customizations to keyboard or Word macros. I did search [I]System Preferences - Keyboard[/I] a couple of times since the trouble began. I put all choices to Restore Defaults each time. No luck. I didn't think of Safe Mode. Thanks for thinking of it. Unfortunately, the problem remains when booted safe. What is puzzling me most is that some key combinations, such as Ctrl-Cmd-T for text in preview, work with the right Cmd key, but not the left. And, all Cmd only items work left or right, such as Cmd-Q to quit an application. So it seems the left Cmd key does something, just not in combination with Ctrl, and the Right Cmd key does work with Ctrl. [/QUOTE]
