I have tried everything including setting the keyboard increments, but the arrow keys do not move objects in illustrator. Can anyone advise?

Did you already reboot the system?

Reset the preferences?


It finally worked after rebooting the system. Thank you!!

What did you set it to?

Can you use the arrow keys to move the curosr in text entry fields in Illustrator?

It was set at 0.0139. I cannot move the cursor in text entry field either.

This points to some other apps interfering with your modifier keys. Do you have any of this running?
