Topic: Wordfast Pro conflict with Windows 8 shortcuts
Poster: Sarah Gregg
This isn't really a Wordfast issue, but as I imagine others of you will have experienced the same problem, I thought I'd give it a try. I've just started using Wordfast with Windows 8 on a portable. It works fine, but there's a conflict with the Ctrl-Right/Left/Down keyboard shortcuts to find and copy tags and placeables which in Windows 8 rotate the display on the screen! I've tried changing the commands in Wordfast and that works fine, but as I've been using the same commands day in, day out, for about seven years, I'm going CRAZY trying to remember to use the new combinations. It's VERY annoying and I just don't seem to be able to find a way to deactivate this function in Windows, which would be ideal, or alternatively, modify the keyboard shortcuts in Windows 8. There is a command WindowsKey + O which should block rotation, but it seems to have no effect.
Has anyone else had the same problem and perhaps found a solution? Many thanks, Sarah with a splitting headache :-/.
