    Are you certain you're hitting Ctrl-Command-P? That shortcut has no connection to Print functions.

    Yes i am sure. Ctrl-Command-P does nothing, shift-cmd-p evokes the print functions.

    I'm confused.  Shift-Cmd-P is *supposed* to open the page setup, which is what you say it does.  So it sounds like that is working properly.

     

    And then in your initial post you said that Ctrl-Cmd-P opens page setup, but in last comment you say that it does nothing?  Which is correct?

     

    Does the menu for toggle preview show the Ctrl-Cmd-P shortcut?  Your initial post leads me to believe it does, but don't want to assume.

    The Users Guide says

    ⌃⌘P Toggle Preview will toggle the preview. For me it does not. Brett asked if i perhaps haves type ctrl intsead fod cmd. There might come the confusion from.

    Normally i do not work much with shortcuts. By now i have learned, that shift cmd p evokes print functions.

    But the Users Guide lists under keyboard Shortcuts:

    In the menu under Windows the same shortcut. By the way the same is true for nvalt.

    Just to make sure we're not mis-communicating.  The shortcut above for "Toggle Preview" is Ctrl-Cmd-P.  The shortcut for "Toggle Info" is Shift-Command-I.

     

    The way macOS apps work is that the program (optionally) gives a keyboard shortcut for each menu item.  macOS is then responsible for handling those keyboard shortcuts and activating the correct menu item.  So nvUltra actually never even sees the shortcut -- it all happens at the OS level.  So if it's not working,

     

    If the shortcut is not working for you, it is something with your machine:

    1. Some localizations change keyboard behavior, meaning that you have to type a slightly different key combination to result in the same character.

    2. Some localizations may have different default shortcuts that conflict with one chosen as a custom shortcut in an app.  I'm not sure if your computer has Ctrl-Cmd-P as a default for something else.

    3. You can use System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts to customize commands and assign whatever you like to any menu command, and see whether something else has been customized.

    I am so sorry. If i had my glasses on, this might not have happened. Brett was rightctrl not shift is the solution.

    Thanks for your patience and excuse me for stealing your time
