Key board short cut problem....

[Application Development]

So when i'm using illustrator the keyboard short cuts for my tools work... like v, a, m, etc. But when i'm trying to do anything from the menu it does not work. Like Apple key C, or apple key v, i cant copy and paste, which is driving me crazy. I have to go up to the menu to undo. Please help.

This thing about keyboard shortcuts not working sometimes has to do with your language settings, especially if you are using a language other than U.S.
Switch your language to U.S., do a keyboard shortcut (Cmd-Y or something) and then return to your usual language. Now shortcuts should work until next time you restart Illy.
Failing this it can have something to do with a conflict - for example another application running in the background. Try turning off other applications.
See if any of this helps.

I've seen it mess with the menus to have a right-to-left reading language as an option, but not necessarily active in your "system preferences -> international -> languages" list of languages. Just having hebrew in that list makes Illustrator unusable.

Possibly try out these
1. create a new point text and press key v and see if you get anything else but not v. I know someone who had had got this problem but that was a PC. Check keyboard settings that you might have changed to fixed this if you do not get v

2. Reset preferences

3. Contact Adobe support
