Shift and other key commands not working in InDesign

We are experiencing keyboard command issues for users in InDesign CC2019 (InDesign only, keyboard shortcuts work in other programs and other Adobe products, like Illustrator). Users cannot use the following very common keyboard commands:

  • shift + return = line break
  • shift + click/drag = proportionally resize items
  • alt + click/drag = copy object

Users with issues have the following running on their machines: High Sierra and Sierra.

I am running Catalina and do not have these issues, except for the shift + return. I am able to click and drag to resize proportionally or copy, but we have quite a few reports of this and it does hamper productivity quite a bit. Are there any solutions available?

 

One other odd thing: We have one user who was able to get shift + return to work, but only on new documents, not existing documents. 

 

I've seen posts about this on here, but they are a few years old. Starting a new thread in case this continues to be an issue for others.

  • We released an update recently (Host build #2848) that should address these issues.  If you continue to experience problems please let us know what operating system the host is running and the GoToMyPC version installed there.

    I am using the Windows GotoMyPC client to access remote PC.  On the remote PC (A), I run a Remote Desktop session to access a different internal Windows server (B).  Shift, backspace, delete, and other command keys are not recognized in the Remote Desktop session (B).  However, they work fine on the remote PC session (A).  Also, the onscreen keyboard seems to work fine from B, but that seems to make it take longer than it should.

     

    Has anybody else encounterd and/or resolved this kind of nested session issue?
