+S doesn't save anymore..

[wfoster]

For some reason, it won't let me save any documents using ⌘+S anymore. I have to do it manually by going to File > Save.

Anyone know how to change this? I really want it back as a shortcut because it is time saving when coding.

Thanks

What program?

Is this problem only on a specific application or is it system wide?

 

[wfoster]

I'm pretty sure it is system wide.

I used to be able to save my Excel documents using it but now it doesn't work. TextWrangler for my coding no longer lets me use ⌘+S either. Safari doesn't let me save either.

I haven't tried any other programs.

Have you mapped that keyboard shortcut elsewhere in another app or system preference?

Nope, pretty sure I haven't.

Nope, pretty sure I haven't.

Did you check System Preferences > Keyboard?

 

[wfoster]

Yep, there isn't even a ⌘+S there.

Might it be the Command key?

Do other shortcuts work?

Create new user account. Test in new user account.

My test account seems to save perfectly with the Command+S shortcut. Now why doesn't my other one? 😕

r.j.s: Other short cuts work fine for me, just like opening a new tab. It works perfect.

A corrupt plist file, although I don't know which one.

Damn, this is driving me nuts.

The only two user level plists in Tiger or Leopard that have any association with the Keyboard & Mouse system preferences are com.apple.systempreferences.plist, and com.apple.universalaccess.plist

universal access

Have you been playing in Univeral access at all ? I only ask because I've seen this before when you make changes to things like voice over or sticky keys or anything in that window, I can't tell you exactly but if you look there you might have your solution. This is why it only shows on one user those prefs are per user account.
