Hi. Thanks for answering anyone who does,
I don't know if it's allowed to post pics so I will describe it as well.
For some reason the tab shortcuts disappeared from the gear menu > javascript < core groups control, language and function. Only there and no where else. I'm sure i remember seeing proto for prototype. this wouldn't bug me so much if object oriented javascript wasn't exactly what i was focusing on learning right now. I aleady tried uninstalling and re-installing. The shortcuts are there under the bundles menu, just not the gear menu and again, all the other tab shortcuts are there for every other language.
thanks
Jon
