custom Keyboard Shortcuts in Leopard broken
#1
For the past few days, I've been trying to set up custom shortcuts on some of the Apple programs, such as Mail. I'll go into System Prefs: Keyboard & Mouse: Keyboard Shortcuts, and clearly and carefully put in new shortcuts to Safari, Mail, and Address Book. I'll then close that window, and sure enough, the keyboard shortcuts (Command-K, Command-Option-6, for examples) will show up in the menus. Everything works for a few hours, or even a day, and then the shortcut no longer works. Sometimes the shortcut disappears from next to the Menu/submenu item, sometimes it doesn't. I've tried deleting them from the System Prefs, and putting in alternative shortcuts, but same deal: after an hour or so, they stop working. I'm working from a new Mac Pro, so the keyboard isn't 5 months old.

Anyone know the .plist file I could try and delete? That's the only thing I can think of.

Dunno, but in Tiger I opened my user prefs folder and sorted by date modified to view what got changed here:

Went to the keyboard shortcuts tab in the Keyboards and Mouse pane and made one change down in the Applications portion. Three prefs files in the above folder got modified:

com.apple.universalaccess.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist

(and one for the app in question)
