      I changed the preferences mac keyboard language (French keyboard , french numeric keyboard, American english ...) Nothing change.
      @driven : yes the label change when i move the scale handles. But i don't understand the second part of your sentence. I can not type a double value with scale ❓

        sorry, what I mean is the Title looks like that before and as I type my 25cm...

        the two scale factors disappear as I type...

        maybe a better example, is after I type...
        moved with a corner handle, then typed...
        I'm still in the tool...

        it hasn't changed back to Measurements yet...

        once is has [changed back to Measurements], my shortcut keys work...

        are you using a mouse or trackpad?

        anything else you changed?

          did you restart SU after that change?
          what do you get when you paste and enter this into 'Window' >> 'Ruby Console'

          Sketchup.get_locale
          

          if the keyboard changes have worked for SU, it should return... en-US...

            To be more exact, I work with French numeric keyboard .
            I have to type values ​​as [120;200] with ";" as separator.
            My os is maverick.
            Everything works fine as long as I do not type a letter corresponding to a keyboard shortcut.

            If I disable keyboard shortcuts "m" and "c" (Circle and Move) I can use values ​​with units again.
            A temporary solution would be to change the Circle and Move keyboard shortcuts.

            c'est pas un truc juste, c'est juste un truc!

              Is there any chance you're adding a space between the numeric and 'm'?

                It sounds like you have a conflict between the regional settings of your computer and the version of SU you are using.
                Are you using an English version on a french system? Perhaps it's not locking out the keyboard because it's thinking it's something else. Usually the relevant keys are ignored when in a specific tool but others still jump to a shortcut.
                For example I think if you type 30z when drawing a circle it will jump to zoom, but 30s will change the number of sides as you know. So maybe the fringlish has it confused. I can't test my theory as I'm on my phone at the moment.

                    If as you mentioned earlier this is a fresh install, I would be uninstalling and trying again.
                    It sounds like a problem no one else has and I can't even come close to replicating it.
                    A reinstall or even a repair might sort it for you.

                        @box there is nothing to repair or reinstall on the mac version, it's now a preconfigured drag and drop app...

                        it will be the same every time...

                        removing shortcuts plists, empty trash, then restart...

                        may help

                        356CM [using KEYLOCK] also works here...

                          @ box. I've uninstalled SU2014 (su + layout + style builder)last week with CleanMyMac2. I then reinstalled. The problem remained.
                          @ driven. "c" or "C" gives the same.

                          thank you for your dedication

                            Hi folks,
                            since I change my hard drive and reinstall my operating system from a backup, everything came back fine.
                            have a nice day
