Hello MzBHopkins,


You may try heading on the Mac to the following location:

  1. Apple menu
  2. System Preferences
  3. Keyboard
  4. Shortcuts tab
  5. Select an option on the left column and click 'Restore Defaults'
  6. Repeat this for each option on the left column

In particular, check out the "If other keys don’t work" section of this page.


Cheers.
