      Hi, I've lost the ability to do alt pto get the plugins dropdown (all other menu dropdowns are working fine) - has anyone else had this and how did you solve it?

        To find out what command is assigned to "ALT+P":

        (1) Open the Ruby Console.

        (2) type:

        puts Sketchup.get_shortcuts.find {|ks| ks =~ /\AAlt\+P\t/ }
        Then (3) open the Preferences dialog,

        (4) go to the Shortcuts panel,

        (5) navigate to the command that was displayed in (2) above,

        (6) highlight the "Alt+P" shortcut,

        (7) click the "-" button.

        Close the Preferences dialog.

        I'm not here much anymore.

          Hi Dan, when I put that string into console I get this returned -

          nil
          nil

          I get the same return if I enter swap in F for file

            Just to be sure the find filter is not working.. let us list them all:

            puts Sketchup.get_shortcuts.sort

            .. and see if there is a command set for Alt+P ?

              Results from - puts Sketchup.get_shortcuts.sort [strange there's only one alt instance - my other alt shortcuts work - I reinstalled last week to see if I could get functionality back and still no change]

                Next I would check your system wide keyboard accelerators for something set to ALT+P.

                  Thanks very much Dan, That was it - I use a shortcut tool called Clavier and I'd set Alt P to do something specific, and I now see that with Clavier I can set limits on the extent of that system change.
