Hot Key Commands not working?

I just got a new keyboard because my Q died. It's the exact same make and model as before but for some reason, I can't get my keyboard commands to work. For example, SHIFT+Y to call up the tool to mirror a pose or CTRL+L to toggle screen lights. Maybe it has nothing to do with the keyboard. Maybe I accidentally switched something off in a menu somewhere? And yes, I checked to make sure the keys themselves work. The shdows in the picture are starting to become hard to work with. I have 2 Distant Lights that are on. When I turn them off, it's just black. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

    Do the shortcuts still appear next to the commands when you find them in the menu, or are they missing there?

    Oh man. I'm sorry. I don't know :P I don't know where to find them in the menu. I saw those in a tutorial once, wrote them down and memorized them. I watched the tutorial again to see if I was remembering wrong or not. Where would I check that? Also...I noticed that when I select an item and hit the delete key because I changed my mind about using it, Daz doesn't recognize that as a command either. Not sure if this is a related issue or not.

    I haven't installed or uninstalled anything lately either. Not Daz, not anything. Maybe a at home gym but that was like a week ago and I doubt that was it. All I did was plug in the USB for a keyboard that didn't have coffee in the keys :P

    If you open the Edit menu, having made a change to the scene in soem way, is ctrl Z listed next to Undo <whatever action>?

    No it is not. Sorry for being a dummy and having to have you explain that to me.

    OK, in that case you either need to reload the layout (Window>Workspace>Select Layout) or at least reload the actions (Window>Worspace>Customise, click the Import.. button at the bottom, and select Actions, then select the defaults)

    BOOM! Nailed it! Thank you for the tip Richard, that was much easier than I feared it would be. I was sure I'd have to go back and set them up again manually or something. Just needed a quick slap on the box I guess.

    Thanks again for the help!
