Look in the beta forum. peeddrroo posted on this some time ago.

The Abes know about it, but evidently can't really fix it for some reason having to do with new features that were implemented and design decisions.

You should look up that thread, because there was a workaround using some microsoft thing to change the way keys are assigned.

Best,

yep
unfortunately you'll have to cope with it for some time it seems.
i'm in the same boat: i was constantly making the grid narrower/wider in L5. plus i work a lot with triplet based music, and i can't use Ctrl3 anymore, which sucks a lot too.

it's a pain in the ass to do all that with right click, but i kind of got used to it.
it works with Caps Lock on, but then you loose your key-mappings...

anyway, the abes are awae of it and hopefully will come with a solution SOON.

I almsot could jump back to 5.2 just for this hotkey.
also I keep on using Alt to try to prehear notes in midi editor, I could not understand why they sometimes remove such usefull function (especially if you consider that alt is not used for another modifier over the pianorool keys). now I have to assign a key, losing a potential trigger...

why not just use the english version? You seem pretty good in english and it will save you the trouble of having to deal with this.

C'est sur que c'est un bizarre de bug.

I think the problem is french keyboards and french localized windows (on french keyboards if you press "2", without any modifier, you get "é", so live have to take count of this one). sadly working with the software in english shouldnt solve anything, so we have to wait, and hope it's on the top of the pile.
