Command-space bar not working
 
I've been using command-spacebar to start recording for may years, but it no longer works on my system. Anyone else having this problem.

Is the spotlight menu keyboard shortcut using command spacebar? You can change this in the spotlight prefs.

Not it's not. I tried temporarily enabling it for Spotlight to test the short cut and it works in Spotlight, but not Pro Tools.

I´m having this problem too. Kinda frustrating after so many years and even worse on the laptop

Anyways, figure I'd post this incase someone else has the same problem. Running Pro Tools 8.0cs3 with no problems now.

Thanks for the help all.

What do you do with the "com.apple.symbolichotkeys .plist" file ?

I found it but I don't know what to do with it to recover the command-space recording...

Thank you

Move the plist file to the desktop, the system will then create a new one and you will loose your custom keyboard shortcuts. If all goes well you can trash the plist file that you moved to desktop.

OK thank you, I'll try this and tell you if it works on my macbook.

It works !!! But After deleting the plist file the spotlight shortcut preference was reactivated. I desactivated it:-) and now it's working as usual :)

THANK YOU !!! :-)
