This article was previously published under Q133209 SYMPTOMS
When you press and hold down the COMMAND key and the SHIFT key while you
press the A key (COMMAND+SHIFT+A) to access the Creative Writer or Fine
Artist Control Room, either nothing happens, or Spike barks and asks if
you want to quit the program.
This behavior occurs when you have set your Keyboard Layout to
Flemish, French, French (numerical) or Italian.
CAUSE
COMMAND+SHIFT+A only works with the U.S. keyboard layout.
RESOLUTION
Use the U.S. keyboard layout. To change your keyboard layout, do the
following:
- Save the document you are working on and exit the program.
- Access the Control Panels on the Apple Menu.
- Double-click the Keyboard Control Panel.
- In the Keyboard Layout section, click U.S.
- Restart Creative Writer or Fine Artist.
MORE INFORMATION
If you are using the Flemish, French or French (numerical) Keyboard
Layout, you can use another method to access the Control Panel. Make sure
the Caps Lock is on, then press and hold down the COMMAND and SHIFT keys
while you press the Q key (COMMAND+SHIFT+Q).
