Hi Gerbrand:
By any chance, does this happen right after you use the Outliner or in
any way perform any UI operation that gives you a "Action Not Allowed"
icon for the mouse cursor? If so, try this:
- Set the Outliner to use scene hierarchy sort order (Display > Sort
order > scene hierarchy)
- Move any object out of its hierarchy within the scene and back again.
- See if your hotkeys work again
Also, is this happening across all hotkleys (space, QWER etc.) or just
the F Frame Selected key?
If not, you might want to backup your old prefs, reset them, and see
if that solves the issue.
To mitigate against this problem as well, I actually use a
standardized set of prefs that I have, turn off "Save prefs and
settings when Maya exits", and only save my preferences manually when
I need to. It's troublesome, but far safer and less-time consuming
than having to restore all my custom settings after a reset.
I've never been able to find the root cause of this issue, but I do
know resetting prefs (for me) has worked, and I've managed to track it
down to somewhere in userPrefs.mel. Unfortunately I've never had the
time to sit down and seriously check through it. =\
Hope that helps!
Yours sincerely,
Siew Yi Liang

Thanks Yolandi
This is the kind of input I need... sadly my caps lock key doesn't
influence weather F8 works or not.
I'm sure I'll find out what it does break on my side in a very long
and painful way.
Trying to stay positive here

Make sure you are clicking on the viewport window. Maya is not
mouse smart cursor over like Softimage. So the last window you
clicked stays active until you click on another window.

I just want to check If this is a known issue, or if I'm
hitting my head against my own stupidity.
I'm modelling something in Maya for the last 2 days (would
have taken 3 hours in soft, but hey, its a learning curve) ,
And every once in a while my interaction stops working.
Like the "f" key no longer frames selection, or the
modeling toolkit stops previewing edge-loops. F8 also stops
doing what it should be doing.
When I save and restart, all is back to normal,
So is there some "mode" or "thing" I don't know about, or
have you guys found it buggy too?
It's Maya 2014 sp2 30 day trail.
Thanks
