Could it be that your shortcut for changing nudge value zooms in and out of Pro Tools?

That's an OS X shortcut and can be switched off by pressing Option+Command+8

Hope it helps,
Timothy

nothing to do with zooming really. i want to nudge and on a wireless there isnt a numeric keypad like a normal keyboard. so i have to reassign the nudge keys if possible. anybody know how ?

Unfortunately, as there isn't a command in the menu bar, I doubt that you can reassign the shortcut. Maybe someone who uses a powerbook and Pro Tools knows a workaround?

A somewhat ham-fisted workaround would be to invoke the “Nudging by Next Nudge Value” commands. (From the PT 7.4 Reference Guide, pg. 473:)

Nudging by Next Nudge Value
In addition to nudging by the current Nudge value, you can also nudge by the next, larger value in the Nudge pop-up menu.

For example, if the Nudge value is set to 1 frame and you want to nudge by a larger valuer, you can nudge by the next, larger Nudge value of 10 frames.

To nudge forward or back by the next, larger Nudge value:
1 Enable Commands Keyboard Focus (see “Keyboard Focus” on page 20).
2 Select the regions or notes you want to nudge.
3 Do one of the following:
• Press Forward Slash (/) to nudge the selected material forward by the next Nudge value.
• Press M to nudge the selection back by the next Nudge value.



IHTH.

If you have Quickeys it's pretty easy to reassign. There are also other programs similar to Quickeys that aren't as expensive.

Keyboard focus - the little a...z widget in the top row near the left side of the edit window, another feature that I can't believe everyone doesn't use (I know to each his own, horses for courses, you can't stand that feature, whatever), assigns nudge to m , . / keys.

As Andre's post said if your in frames that's -5 -1 +1 +5 frame nudges. The manual is outdated it used to be 10, but it's been 5 for a while.

So this keyboard doesn't have these keys?

With command focus on, these are nudge as well the + and - keys.
