I've been having the same issues off and on with CS6 for the past month now and it's a pretty serious issue. Not sure why more people aren't chimming in on this. It's cutting down my productivity at work tremendously. Is there a fix for this yet? I'm on a Win 7 (6.1) 64, i5-2400, 3.10GHz, with 8gbs

yeah i'm finding this as soon as installed flash pro cs6, i use it at work and at home

and have the same issue, very annoying when using my cintiq too.

hope there's a patch to fix this issue soon.

I still haven't found anything online and Adobe has yet to chime i on this

one. It's a big issue so I'm really surprised at the lack of attention they

are giving this.

In my case it's all the "single key shortcuts" that are failing after like one minute of using the program

"H" -hand
"v" - arrow
"Q" - transform

"B" - brush

"E" - eraser

and so on...

the shortcuts are working once i start the program, but after a minute or so, they stop reacting, also once i'm entering a graphic symbol, they will work again, but then fail within few seconds.

thanks in advance

and hope the issue could be solved soon.

yep me too - i haven't tried the other apps but all of the single key shortcuts in flash cs6 (from adobe cloud) do not work and i've installed it in the last 2 weeks (don't think they ever worked)

I'm having the same problem in all CS6 apps on Mac OS 10.8.1. The issue comes and goes. Holding shift no longer constrains proportions, option+drag doesn't copy, space bar doesn't give me the hand tool, etc. I have to do almost everything through menus, very slow and frustrating.

Since the CS6 install, I also get the exact same issue when I go back to work in CS5.5

I read elsewhere online that browser installs can effect this. Some people updated their Firefox and fixed it, some people updated Safari and Chrome for same effect. Also some said you have to quit your browser while using CS6.

I updated Firefox yesterday and it fixed the problem. Today it's back, in CS6 and CS5.5. So I don't know if the Firefox update fixed it, or if it was merely coincidence.

Mine stop working too

Windows 7 Flash CS6

Even copy/cut/paste stop working in the code but only inside Flash.  In other apps they still work.  Really need a fix for this.

I was unable to toggle the actions window using the standard alt+F9 shortcut in Flash CS6 Professional (Mac).

Discovered that in OSX 10.8.2 in System Prefs/Keyboard the 'Use all F1, F2, etc. Keys as standard function keys' tick box was un checked by default.

Checking this option solved this particular problem.

Sorry, I know that's not 100% relevant to your question but it was driving me nuts, thought it might be useful anyway.

Same problem as most of you, my single key shortcuts didn't work at all. Ctrl + Enter as opa-opa said and *puf* they started to work O_o. Thanks mate

I founds something very interesting. (and maybe a bandaid-solution for now)

The hot keys seem to stop working when 2 things happen:

1. The window of your document is NOT docked to the frame of Flash. So it's floating - not docked.

2. You click outside of the flash program.

When this happens your hotkeys break! I found that a quick fix is to dock your project to flash and the hotkeys will work again.

Also this addresses the reports of this bug happening when using a Cintiq. Since you're using another screen when you're using a Cintiq, but it's super easy to accidentally click the desktop and when the document is brought over to the cintiq screen it's usually undocked away from the main Flash window!

Hi, also frustrated when realised it's a bug and not my late-night flashing

So, I work mostly on Win 7 (64bit) in Flash and noticed a workaround to this really annoying bug - just minimize/maximize back Flash and CONTINUE working with the shortcuts back. I really don't know what's up with Flash that messes it up randomly.

Cheers!

Same situation here. This is... annoying and becoming more obnoxious every minute. Please fix it. Soon, if possible.

I am having the same problem as well! The hotkeys have started working less and less. Even restarting the computer doesn't help anymore. Exporting the swf has worked for me as well, but this is silly.

I am having the same issues. For some reason, when I open a new or a saved doc, the keys will work for a few mins, then all of the sudden they will stop working. Sometimes they will start working if I just leave the project alone for about 15 mins. By the way, I am only having this issue with Flash. It happened when I had CS 5 and now it is happening with CS 6. I am running it on a Dell Latitude, Windows 7 (32-bit) 4gb of RAM, and a Intel i5 2.6GHz. I don't know if anyone else noticed that if I close multiple programs that I am using at the same time like Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver or iTunes or Spotify, it seems to help resolve the problem but only sometimes.
