Hi, i don't think i am using the numpad commander although i set it up in a gray era somewhere long ago. I'll have to check just to make sure. I actually ordered an apple extended keyboard just to be able to work with PT. But then it's the question about the difference between the Swedish and the US layout and if that somehow could come into play. Well there's much to investigate and i will do so and let the list know what i find. Still loving Pro tools although i'll have to fight with it, but i will tame it, i promise, i think.:-) /Krister
