[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1847267, member: 76746"] Sometimes I'm not the brightest bulb in the proverbial chandelier! I should have thunk of this test sooner: My computer has 2 partitions, each with OS X 10.11.6. I booted to the second partition and gave a fresh installation of OS X, so it would be pristine. Testing the Command key in that partition gave the same results, so I think that eliminates a preference file problem and confirms a mechanical problem. It will be interesting when the new (used) keyboard arrives- assuming the replacement solves the problem- to take the old one apart to visually check if there is a second, failed, contact in the left Command key. (Since some command-other key functions work & some don't) Thanks Again Patrick & Bob for mentioning Keyboard Viewer. I'm really enjoying exploring & using it. [/QUOTE]
