CTRL shortcuts not working

Hello,

I am running SecureCRT 7.0.2 on a fully updated Mac (OS 10.8.2), and am having some trouble getting any Control key shortcuts working (I use these heavily when configuring our Cisco equipment). They seem to function as application shortcuts rather than terminal client shortcuts. For example, CTRL+A should move to the start of the line, but instead selects all text. CTRL+K opens up Quick Connect rather than clear all text from the cursor onward.

Is there some either global or OS setting that can solve this?

Thanks!

dimension6,

Can you double check that you're pressing Ctrl, not the Command key?
Command-A selects all in SecureCRT for OS X.

Command-K opens Quick Connect in SecureCRT for OS X.
Can you describe the keyboard (i.e.: is it an external keyboard, perhaps PC keyboard, plugged into a Macbook Pro, or something like that)?

My keyboard is a relatively new Apple USB keyboard with numpad, and I am indeed pressing the control key rather than the command key (they seem to perform the same function).

They shouldn't perform the same function. If you open another application, such as Safari, or Terminal, can you press Cmd-A and Ctrl-A, and see if both actions select all for you?

Did you copy sessions from SecureCRT on Windows, or is this a new installation and new session?

I don't have this issue in other applications (for example, all CTRL functions work properly in Terminal). I did copy the sessions over from a Windows machine, but have also tested by creating a completely new configuration folder.

If you use Quick Connect you see the same problem, right?

If so, could you send your SecureCRT Default.ini file and Global.ini file to support@vandyke.com, with subject Forum Thread 10799 Attn Mike?
