ShortCuts for new RTF and Text does not work

…Any ideas why?

It’s supposed to be apple + ^ + N. Pressing apple plus ^ produces the “not-assigned-key-combination”-beep. Pressing the three together results in the same as APPLE + N.

I use a german keyboard layout.

Hi,

it works on my keyboard – Japanese or US with German; US and Japanese layout. Have you been at a place where creating a new document would not work anyway?
