In recent versions of Mac OS X (I think back to 10.4) cmd-opt-8 is a shortcut used by the OS to enable/disable the screen zooming feature. The OS steals these keystrokes before Mathematica ever sees them. If you don't use this feature you can remove/disable the shortcut for it by unchecking the checkbox at System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Universal Access > Turn zoom on or off. With this shortcut disabled you will be able edit your MenuSetup.tr or KeyEventTranslations.tr to use this key combination. -Rob
