The keyboard shortcut, ⌃⌘T, for "Select Bundle Item..." doesn't work. All of my modifier keys work fine in other instances, and if I click on the menu item then it works fine, but when I enter in the shortcut, nothing happens. I don't think this shortcut is bound to any programs running in the background. Has anyone encountered this problem or know how to fix it?

Just saying that when I restarted my computer the issue was fixed. I don't know why it happened, but it works fine now, so you can ignore this question.

After getting a wireless Apple keyboard I sometimes experience that certain key sequences are not working.
When it happens, I launch Keyboard Viewer and there has always been some key shown as pressed. Pressing this key once fixes the problem — mostly it is the arrow keys (so now I just press them in sequence to fix the problem).
*Until your post, I had not understood that the keyboard viewer shows each key as it is pressed. For example, as I type this post I see each key I press become briefly darkened in the keyboard viewer. Which leads me to a perplexing question. In some of the TextMate documentation and bundle shortcuts, there is a picture of a key that I cannot decipher. It looks like a circle, but at 11 o'clock there is a gap and in that gap is a short vertical line that starts a little outside of the circle and extends a bit towards the center of the circle. What key does that refer to? It does not appear anywhere in the keyboard viewer. * On Sun, May 9, 2010 at 8:44 AM, Allan Odgaard mailinglist@textmate.orgwrote:

There's a list of key symbols at http://macbiblioblog.blogspot.com/2005/05/special-key-symbols.html , or just enter "apple key symbols" into a search engine near you.
When you (the general "you", not necessarily Robert) say "Keyboard Viewer", are you refering to /System/Library/Input Methods/KeyboardViewer.app ? For some reason that doesn't seem to do anything for me. Maybe it's because I'm running the 64-bit SL kernel? Or are you talking about something else?

On my MacBook Pro (less than a month old) I do: 1) System Preferences 2) Keyboard...."Show Keyboard & Character Viewer in menu bar" 3) In menu bar (just to the right of the volume control on my MacBook Pro), mouse over the picture of a keyboard. 4) Click on "Show Keyboard viewer" 5) A picture of a keyboard appears. 6) any key that you type into any application, causes that key on the picture of the keyboard to briefly flash gray.

It works if you access it as intended, by turning it on as an input source in the Language & Text System Preferences panel.

Ah, thank you. I had it checked, but I didn't have "Show Input menu in the menu bar" checked. Is there a way to access the Keyboard Viewer other than through that menu? My menu bar is already overflowing with icons, I don't need another that I might want once in a blue moon.
