Hey Frank, would you happen to know why some shortcut keys in Dreamweaver CS6 would suddenly stop working? Ctrl + S stopped working and the only way for me to save my changes is by using the “Save as” option, which is quite frustrating for me each time I make a change. Let me know if you have a clue on how to fix this.
Outstanding Work…. I realy like it
