    I changed the preferences mac keyboard language (French keyboard , french numeric keyboard, American english ...) Nothing change.

    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.

            I use a french SU version on a a french system with a french keyboard.
            Yes i restart SU after disable the pre-installed extensions and change keyboard pref.

            the ruby console displays this

            @dave : I do not add a space between the numeric and 'm'
            @box : yes, type 30z when i draw a circle jump tool to zoom, and i can't enter "s" because it jump to scale tool!

              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
