Illustrator lets you view a list of all shortcuts,and edit or create shortcuts. The Keyboard Shortcuts dialog boxserves as a shortcut editor, and includes all commands that supportshortcuts, some of which aren’t addressed in the default shortcutset.

The Illustrator window is still active because I can see Illustrator reacting when I press only CMD or ALT. However all keyboard shortcuts just stop working, for instance CMD+S, or V or any other toolbar shortcuts. To fix it I have to do a mouse click on a tool or menu command or something, and the shortcuts are back for a while. Mac: Hold down Command Option Shift keys while starting the program. If you are concerned about resetting all of the preferences, you can reset the settings for a specific tool by clicking on its icon int the top left hand corner of the application then choose reset tool from the drop down.
