Copy/Paste keyboard shortcut doesn't work in 26.3.0

Copy and paste keyboard shortcut doesn’t work on sequences in this version of premiere. Copy only works when right-clicked with mouse, and right-clicking would not work anywhere on the timeline, Cmd+v only work occasionally on clips on the timelines. When trying to copy and paste attributes or effects, only the paste in the main premiere menu works (no right click, no CMD+V)

    Hi ​@Ashleejane 

    Thanks for stopping by the Premiere forums! Sorry to hear you’ve having copy/paste issues in v26.3. In order to help troubleshoot, we need some additional details like are you Mac or Windows, and if Windows what driver version & build or if Mac then what MacOS, etc. with our bug report details.

    It sounds like maybe you updated from v26.2.2 to v26.3? If not, what was the last working version build of Premiere that behaved as expected? Did anything else change between the time it was working until the issue started?

    What happens if you try to do this in a new project and sequence?

    If you go to Keyboard Shortcuts, are Copy, Paste, and Paste Attributes still mapped normally? I also think clearing preferences might also be worth trying. 

    A short screen recording could be really helpful to show us exactly what’s going on that you can most likely attach here or DM us a link to it.

    Hope this helps!

    Hello, I’m on MAC OS 26.3.1 - I keep automatic updates on so I don’t know what the latest build I had, but this happens across two different machines, two different projects, two different accounts (personal and work one) so it’s not an issue due to my machine.

    yes, all it’s still mapped normally, i will try clearing preferences and if it doesn’t work I’ll share a screen recording
