Indesign CC: the shortcut «Align left --- Default: Shift+Cmd+L» seems not working...

Under any keyboard combination: default, proper, PM, Quark

The Indesign label in the menu (above, left) is shadowed when the shortcut is typed.

But the rest of them are oK

Shift+Cmd+R

Shift+Cmd+C

Shift+Cmd+J

Shift+Cmd+F

Could be fixed in some way?

Just to know if it is a problem here.

CS6 was OK.

Mac 10.7.5

Core duo 3.06

    I had the same problem, also when trying to centre a graphic using Shift+Cmd+E. Turns out the keyboard shortcuts in:

    System Preferences> Keyboard> Keyboard Shortcuts> Services

    now clash with Indesign. I turned them all off and now everything is fine: I never used them anyway. Keyboard shortcuts in CS6 aren't affected by this.

    It's working for me on in Mac OS X 10.8.5 in InDesign CC. What operating system? What version of InDesign?

    Thanks for the System Preferences fix. That worked for Left Justify. I'm also having issues with Duplicate (Cmd+Option+Shift+D). Any luck with this command?

    In response to your issue with the Duplicate shortcut, I disabled the Dock Hiding shortcut and that worked for me. Hope this helps.

      Usually because the shortcut is assigned to something else.

      You can go to Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts and find the command see what it's used for - you could use the "Show Set" button and do a search to find what it's being used for.
