Problems duplicating objects with Illustrator.

Question

Hello!

I have a problem since I am using Illustrator with Windows 11. When I want to duplicate an object with ALT, it does not work correctly, sometimes it works when I press again before finishing the movement of the object. I have verified with other keyboards and the problem persists, also in Photoshop the alt works well.

So it's just a problem with illustrator. It is very unpleasant because it makes me lose fluidity in the work process. Is there any solution for this?

Thank you in advance.

A couple of third party apps are known to interfere with Illustrator's modifier keys, such as

WebRoot
Apple Terminal
Word, Excel, Powerpoint
»Enable Full Keyboard« in Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard on Mac OS
Apple Mail, Outlook
Spacebar is used as a shortcut by the system
Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari
Wacom Desktop Center, Wacom settings
Windows Touch Pad problem
LastPass, Bitwarden (password managers)
The VPN
