I recently got an apple wireless keyboard and trackpad and now a load of my shortcuts are not working - for example cmd & 9 for "show video", Enter for "memory location, and most annoyingly for me - change grid value - ctrl & option & - /+
Does anyone know of a workaround or am I stuck with it? I tried adding the shortcuts in the keyboard section of apple preferences but it doesn't seem to be working.
Any help massively appreciated
Thanks

First time I've heard of such problem. I also use wireless and have had zero problems (if you don't count that it's only a mini keyboard without numpad).
Double-check that you have correct keyboard layout set up in the system preferences.

It seems to be set up fine as far as I can tell. So the shortcuts like cmd& 9 for video window work for you on the wireless keyboard?
Is there anything you can think of in the keyboard setup that I might have missed?
thanks

No I think you have set it up properly.
I don't work with video right now so it's hard for me to test it, but command-7 which should open the video universe instead links the three edit buttons in the edit window. So this mini keyboard apparently does not work as expected.

Yup, Command-7 is for the Smart tool on my keyboard. I think the problem is that all the numeric keyboard shortcuts aren't there (due to the lack of a number pad!), just the keyboard ones. I'm kind of stumped by the "Change grid value" shortcut not working though.
So any idea how I could find a work around? Wireless is the only practical setup in my studio at the moment!
Thanks

If your keyboard doesn't have a numeric keypad, does adding the Fn (function) key to the command work?
i.e. fn cmd& 9 for video window ?

Thanks for that, unfortunately not. Fn & enter works for a marker so you'd think it would be something like that, but no joy!

Keyboard pref. set to US and not US(ext)?
Long shot....

Set to Ireland! Changed it to a few different options, no joy unfortunately, thanks though

They make a wireless number pad that attaches to the wireless keyboard.

yep, I know, but it'd be great if I could change shortcuts more easily to suit whatever setup I have! Should be a little easier.
thanks
