Urgent illustrator help needed

[ialieneye]

So I opened illustrator today and while my command+ whatever shortcuts seems to be working (like command+Z) The shift for making things 90degree and straight line and alt for copying things as I move them are not working at all. Is there some sort of button on my keyboard I might of hit to render these unworkable? I'm in the middle of a ton of work and really need these functions back. HELP?!!

What version of AI are you on? Is the mac on a network. Do the keys work for text, and just not the command to constrain and such?

try restarting your machine?

I've had Apple command keys go bad on me before. and always reboot.

In AI10 if you have it running and manage to hit cmd+K in the Finder it'll kill them until restart.

More than likely, it's the Preference file. You need to trash it.

Shut down AI first.

User> Library> Preferences> Adobe Illustrator (Version) Settings> Adobe Illustrator Prefs

Send it to the trash.

Start AI.
