[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1847162, member: 76746"] Thanks Patrick! A new symptom arose today: Command-P used to bring up the Print dialog. As of this morning, only the Right Command key + P will bring up the dialog. The Left one does not. I studied all the preference files & didn't find one where eliminating solved the problem. (But, I don't honestly know what I am seeking, so I guessed & experimented.) I did the PRAM & SMC resets a couple of times. No luck. Since the Function key is most likely physically broken, I ordered a used keyboard on eBay for 8.00 USD. It can't hurt to try it out. If the Command problem remains with the new keyboard, I'll go with your idea of a preference file being corrupt. I'll be sure my backup is good and experiment with more plist files. Hopefully, I'll find the bad guy. Once the global health crisis is over and I'm back to working (& we're eventually caught up financially), it sounds like that will be a good time to concentrate on saving for a new MacBook Pro. New stuff is always fun! [/QUOTE]
