Keyboard Shortcuts Do Not Work

Problem

The keyboard shortcuts listed in the Menu Shortcut Keys preferences do not work. What can I do?

Solution

Usually this happens when a special keyboard layout is set in the operating system that generates other characters than the usual ones for the keys of a standard keyboard. For example if you set the extended Greek layout for your keyboard you should return to the default Greek layout or to the English one. Otherwise, the Java virtual machine that runs the application will receive other key codes than the usual ones for a standard keyboard.
