<snip> > Are you sure that you are using KDE? If so, can you switch to Gnome? I am definitely using KDE, I did not install Gnome during installation, or at least I don't think I did... > Did you ever mess with your keybindings? I might have done if I knew what they were. If you mean within Quanta settings, I have merely viewed that CTRL+C = Copy etc. This is a recent install (a week or two ago) using ONLY what is available from the FC2 CDs (including Quanta). I have not (to my knowledge) updated any packages. All I have done extra is install msttcorefonts for use in my PHP graphing scripts. Thanks for your help Graham
