Hi,

Until v. 9.6.3 I have always used Ctrl + Arrow-down and Ctrl + Arrow-
up for scrolling a document (any kind) within the BBEdit viewport. As
Ctrl + Alt + Arrow-up and Ctrl + Alt + Arrow-down for the same purpose
just with faster scroll..

Now (and I believe it was after upgrading to v. 9.6.3) the first
(slower) scroll method just doesn't work for me anymore. Only the
second (faster) scroll works, which is highly frustrating – I've used
these keys for scrolling for at least 5 yrs – just can't get them out
of my bones..

Could somebody please try the key combinations above on a longer
document to see if all key combinations work for you?

Thnx
/Jesper

Thanks for testing Robert!

I've been through all system prefs including shortcuts for system,
applications and even universal access which I never use..

Just don't get it..

log into another account, then try it. you may need to trash the prefs.

Control-Arrow Keys switch Spaces. That can be changed in the Spaces System Preferences pane.

Excellent Jeffrey - right on the nail!

I never used Spaces, but had a go some while ago. Didn't use it and
turned if off again, but that key combination was somehow reserved for
Spaces and when I turned it off scrolling in BBEdit worked again!

Owe you one : )

Cheers
