No “Command C” in InDesign CC 2017

Since upgrading to CC 2017 last week, the keystroke to copy selected items — Command C — no longer works in InDesign. I must navigate to the dropdown "Edit" menu and copy selected items manually, but the keystroke shortcut does not work.

This problem is unique to InDesign CC 2017; I can still copy using Command C in all of the other CC 2017 apps that I use regularly. Notably, I can duplicate, paste, etc. with keystroke shortcuts in InDesign, but not copy.

I have tried relaunching the app, rebuilding my application and system font caches in FontExplorer X Pro, and rebooting my computer in both regular and safe modes. Nothing works.

Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks …

    Try the other Cmd key if you have a wired keyboard, just to rule things out. Also, try a different keyboard. Borrow one if you need to.

    Did you try to reset the program preferences?
