Question
All of a sudden I can't use spacebar to use the hand tool. Under my shortcuts it is now only available by the key 'H'. When I try to change it back to spacebar it tells me that it can't be used as a shortcut.
Hi Brianne,
This means that you probably have something assigned to that key, in this case the space bar. The easiest thing to do is to go to window>workspace>default. That resets the panels and the key commands. If it still doesnt work, reset IL by holding down Shft+alt/opt+ctrl/cmd when you start up.
Thanks
Kevin

| Comment | Thanks! The advice was helpful but I solved the problem by quitting some Mozilla firefox windows. I read in another forum that there's a bug related w/ Mozilla and Adobe programs. | ||
