Command+Spacebar & Option+Command+Spacebar only works when the hand tool is active... It used to do that anytime. Anyone else having this problem? I have seen people having this problem ranging back to 2011 but none of the "fixes" have worked for me.

I just transferred everything from my old macbook pro (where it worked fine) to a new 27" iMac. I am using a (NON-BLUETOOTH keyboard and a WIRED Razor mouse) which is what I used with the macbook pro. I have also uninstalled/installed PSCC as well as IllustratorCC. BTW, it doesn't work in Illustrator either.

Ok, I fixed it. The iMac wasn't recognizing my keyboard correctly... I guess that was causing the issue. Used a Bluetooth keyboard and trashed the old bluetooth profile and paired it with the imac again and all is good. Thanks to both of you for the help.

      Hello,

      I have the same problem... but I am using a MacBook Retina... so no external Keyboard...

      I updated yesterday to CC 2014

      "Space" Shortcut did not work anymore... No cmd+space for klick-zoom and no space for "grab hand" !!

      This is a long shot, but do you by any chance have more than one language set as an Input Source in OS X? If you do, go into the Keyboard system preference in OS X and check the Input Source switching shortcuts, because if the default shortcuts are on, they may conflict with the Zoom tool shortcuts in Adobe apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign...)

      Adobe has been using Command-Spacebar to zoom since Illustrator 1 in 1987, so they haven't changed.

      I always use  ⌘ + to zoom in,

      ⌘ - to zoom out,

      ⌘ 0 to fill screen and

      ⌘ 1 to go actual pixels.

      Or are you referring to "zooming" with the mouse?

      I have always used Command+Space bar+Click to zoom in... and Option+Command+Space bar+Click to zoom out. I know it may seem easy to switch to a different way of doing the same thing, but when you have done it for 12 years one way and all of the sudden that is gone, it really screws up your workflow. I have seen countless people with this same problem and no answer that works for me. Got on live chat with an adobe CSR and she couldn't figure it out either. I'm stuck.

        To zoom with my mouse, Cmd+Space+click, or Cmd+Space+scroll works as you describe.  I'm using a Magic Mouse and Logitech Trackpad... Did you use the Razor with your old Mac?
