Hello, Jerome,

'Require control key for shortcuts'
that solves the problem (I just tried), thanks!!

I forgot to say: the students are writing plugins, not macros, so they are required to program in Java.
Is there any statement they can build in in the beginning of their code to set that option
'Require control key for shortcuts'
from within their program to be safe from surprises in the future?

Thanks for your answer.
Angelika
