Hello,

This just started happening recently - when I use ctrl + C to copy text, SKY will quit. Some internet sleuthing revealed that ctrl + C is used on Windows computers to shut down programs. I'm not sure why this is kicking in while I am using SKY - this is a recent occurrence, and it doesn't happen all the time. And I can't think of anything I've changed.

Has anyone run into this before? If so, is there a solution?

I have my fingers crossed that someone can help!

Thanks in advance.

-Michelle

Is it happening while in a group? This happens to me, and I'm pretty sure it's happened to others. However, I am at a loss of what to do. Most of my Sky 8 issues come and go with no real problems to the index I'm on. Not like Sky 7 which would require me to rename a project (which you can try if it's constantly happening and interfering with your work!)

Sorry I can't be any more help!

I also can commiserate, but not fix.

I had an occasion where Google took over my keystrokes -- I have no idea what I did, but it was the keyboard commands that were affected. Until I could get my machine to the computer tech who could fix this, I had to rely on mousing around to get things done. So annoying! I use keyboard commands primarily in Sky so it slows me down to use my mouse -- but it is possible. Sometimes I had to try a menu, not find what I needed and tried the next one. I was amazed how I missed them since the keyboard commands do more than the mouse-activated ones. The tech guy (fortunately) didn't make me wait and it was an easy fix for him.

Lucky for you tomorrow is Friday and maybe you can get it fixed tomorrow...?

Hope so,

Deborah

This was exactly what was happening to me using SKY 8. I finally got
in touch with Kamm but he said he was unable to replicate the problem.
Right now I am avoiding Copy and paste from SKY.
