What mac os?

About the Cmd-Spacebar thing... I've reported on this a couple of times. It seems Apple just doesn't want to "give" Adobe et al. this command. First they've tried to cover it with some keyboard-menu thingie in 10.2 and now they've occupied it with Spotlight, as if they don't know that graphics designers all over the world have been using Cmd-Space for the zoom feature for more than a decade... :/ (I _know_ there are ways around using Cmd-Space in Adobe and other applications, but if you want to suggest that, you haven't tried to get what I'm saying... I'm writing this because everytime I bring that up, someone seems to want to tell me to use something else...)

…but we Mac users are usually a fairly flexible bunch, so I'm being flexible and have solved the problem thus:

It's not as if I have been using Tiger for ages and have got used to [Cmd]+[Space] to access Spotlight, so rather than having to 're-learn' my old ways of using things, I have simply disabled the keyboard shortcut for Spotlight. I can't miss a feature that I'm not used to, can I? The icon is still there in the top right-hand corner of the menu bar, so I can click on it if I really need it. If I find that it is a worthwhile feature that fits in well with the way I work, I'll assign another keyboard shortcut to it. The most important thing for me at the moment is to be able to continue churning out the work in the way that I am used to.

cmd-space still works as zoom. if you hold space bar like normal (instead of a tap for spotlight), the spotlight window pops up, but the cursor also changes to the magnifying glass, so carry on zooming (and the spotlight bar dissappears after you click).

it's still works.
