Z button not working on Final Cut Pro

I am using Final Cut Pro on a MacBook, but I cannot use the Z button, that means, no command-z for undo and no z for the zoom tool. It's annoying, can somebody give me a hand?

MacBook Intel C2D 2.2 Ghz, Mac OS X (10.5.4), iMac G5 2.0 Ghz

go to tools > keyboard layout > Customize. From there you can remap that key to something else.

are you saying that the Z key on the keyboard is broken? Or does it work in everything else EXCEPT FCP. If it works in all other places, perhaps you have a system command mapped to Z and that is trumping your FCP Z command.

Command Z and the Z button work well on everything else. I can even do a Redo in FCP with shftcmdZ, but there is no way I can do a cmd+Z. I saw the remap option, but if there is a way to solve it, I'd like to know it, if not, remaping would be my last choice.
