InDesign kerning

Has kerning changed in InDesign? I'm back after a couple of years and can't get my keyboard shortcuts for kerning to work on this Windows laptop like I used to on my old iMac.

Any help would be much appreciated - I love typography.

Regards,
Pete

    Works for me no worries. Perhaps a reset of the preferences would fix this.

     

    Windows:

    Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.

     

    macOS:

    While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.

    If a reset of Preferences makes no difference, can you elaborate on which keyboard shortcuts are not working as expected?

     

    Does kerning work as normal on your Windows laptop without keyboard shortcuts?

      I know this sounds lame but sitting in front of this Windows keyboard, I can't remember what keys I was hitting - I just did it on auto pilot -  I think it might have been command shift < on my Mac.
