can't get keyboard shortcuts to work on Mac

I just can't get keyboard shortcuts to work on Mac. I’ve tried a lot of stuff, more than I can list here. Here are some things I’ve tried:

* searching the Pharo by Example book
* turning off all Mac keyboard-macro programs
* switching from extended to standard US keyboard
* looking at options in System Preferences > Keyboard

I found some “unmapping option-key-plus-letter” solutions at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11876485/how-to-disable-typing-special-characters-when-pressing-option-key-in-mac-os-x?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa
…but yikes, that seems extreme!

If you’re on the Mac, do you have this problem? If so, what’s your solution? Thanks!

Hi - what shortcuts don’t work? On my MacBook Pro and also a Mac air with external keyboard they all seem to work fine? This is Pharo 6.1.

I've not heard of this happening before.

Checking a specific example...

if you are looking at a method with text selected using the mouse,

you are unable to use CMD-X to cut it to the clipboard?
