Command-L no longer makes an alias for me. Is this normal?
MacBook
You could always make Command-L be the shortcut for Make Alias.
Open System Preferences> Keyboard> Shortcuts.
Click on App Shortcuts in the left hand column.
Click on the plus button. A dropdown menu will show.
At Applications select Finder.app.
At Menu Title enter Make Alias.
At Keyboard Shortcut enter ⌘L
Press the Add button.
Does it work from the File menu?
How about cmd-opt+drag?
What does it say the shortcut is for Make Alias in the File menu?
Yes, it worked from the File menu, but there was no keyboard shortcut showing beside it.
Yes, cmd-opt+drag worked — just the cmd+L didn't
I have manually added the keyboard shortcut as suggested below by Eau Rouge, and that solved the problem.
Thank you!!! I knew there had to be some way to add that shortcut, but I couldn't figure out how. Excellent instructions. Problem solved.
Why doesn't command-L work any longer to make an alias?
