I’ve used STRIP since day 1 and am using Codebook. I am thinking that my Plist file got corrupted, but CMD-D no longer works and the “- Folder” and “- Category” buttons are greyed out. Under the Edit menu, the Delete shortcut is CTRL-CMD-OPT-D. Any ideas?

Hi @myronm

Thank you for your support of STRIP and now Codebook. The hotkey for deleting a category or entry is CMD + Delete. That’s very strange that the edit menu is showing a different hotkey for you, this is what mine shows:

There’s a complete list of hotkeys here: [https://www.zetetic.net/codebook/hotkeys.html](https://www.zetetic.net/codebook/hotkeys.html)

Are you running the current version of Codebook [3.0.4 (345)]? Would you mind running an integrity check (File -\> Integrity Check) and see if it reports any issues?

Apparently my SYSTEM was corrupt. I went into System Preferences -\> Keyboard and added Delete (delete key) and the problem was solved. Go figure. Case closed.

PS: Dropbox syncing problems also seem to be resolved. Another mystery.

Thank you,

Ron

@myronm

Glad to hear the issues are resolved. Thanks for outlining the steps you took to fix it, could help other users who experience the same problem.

Have a good day.

Here is how to add the CMD-D command to your keyboard shortcuts on a Mac.
