It seems to be working now, dunk what happened. I rebooted the system, but Yeah I really want to disable the key board short cut as this will be the last semester I’ll be doing ipa, thanks goodness! Unless my masters degree will require it.
Anyway, I’ll take a look and do another permission repair. I did one I think a few days ago but can’t remember. My brain is foggy due to me studying for semester tests and stuff. I do have another test account I use. It’s my friends but they won’t mind if I delve in to there as I created it for them anyway. Take care and let’s hope this does not happen whilst I’m taking my ipa exam in a few days.
