keyboard shorcut do not work

Hi : Maic Air on Yosemite 10.10.3

the keyboard shortcut function (text shortcuts) does not work in applications (personal mail, windows office, firefox, etc...).

it only works with Apple Safari, and Apple Mail and other native Apple applications. Fustrating.

It should be a parmeter to set up somewhere ???

regards

Windows 7

What kind of keyboard shortcut you try to use?

On Mac application, most shortcut use conbination with command key, but window applications use conbination with control in main.

It is also better to check the key assignment in your environment ( bootcamp or VMware or Parallels ? ) for Windows.


Some typical assignment for modifier keys

macwindows
commandwindows
optionAlt
n/aapplication
controlcontrol
