Rhino 8 Mac ctrl shortcuts missing

Hi there,

it seems all my ctrl-based shortcuts are gone and I can’t create new ones. Can anybody help me restore them?

Thanks a lot,
Sebastian

Also, I am unable to turn off the projected mode. Suddenly there are strange shortcuts that do all kinds of things I never used assigned to shortcuts I used to have before. It seems my copy of Rhino is unusable. Since I am in a very busy state in a project, where I need this thing to work, does anybody have an idea what to do?
Tried a new installation, same result.
I used to love Rhino, with Rhino 8 it changed a bit and right now I start to feel a strong dislike. As countless others in the forums I think this version is very unreliable… :-/

Hi Sebastian -
Please start by running the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the output here.

Thx for looking into it btw :slight_smile:
This is one of the things I do like very much about Rhino. You McNeel people look through here and help people a lot.

Hi Sebastian -

Testing this in the version of Rhino that you are running, I’m seeing this:

Does nothing at all happen on your side?
-wim

I can go that far, but no further. It will not execute any command I was assigning to that shortcut.

Yet another thing, sometimes I can’t turn layers on or off in details in the layout. But one thing at a time. My workflow relies heavily on shortcuts.

Hi Sebastian -

Thanks for reporting this. I’ve put it on the list as RH-84540 Keyboard Shortcuts: Control Doesn’t Work
-wim

Yes, pls make a new thread for this, thanks!

RH-84540 is fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 14 Release Candidate

Hm…still doesn’t work here. Tried to create new ones as well as changing existing shortcuts. Neither are saved after closing and reopening Rhino.

did you install a service release candidate not the regular service release? you can change the frequency in the settings under general. i did not try the new update yet but i gave up on modifying shortcuts earlier due to them being half baked

my bad, just installed the normal update.
Tried the SR candidate, doesn’t even accept ctrl…

Hi Sebastian -

Could you provide more information here?
Post the updated `SystemInfo´ output and somewhat more details about what you are doing.

I was trying to generate new/edit existing shortcuts using the ctrl button. Before SRC14, with the regular release Rhino accepted the ctrl button but wouldn’t do anything, after I installed SRC14 the shortcut editor does not accept the ctrl button. It doesn’t change anything. In fact I can’t edit/add/change any shortcuts using any buttons anymore.
