Windows Control-key shortcuts are defined in a configuration file called
wincmd.cfg, which is located in the fminit\configui folder within your  
FrameMaker installation directory. There is no way to set or change these
shortcuts from the GUI, so unless you have modified the wincmd.cfg file,
some other application or utility must be intercepting the Ctrl+M key 
combination before FrameMaker ever sees it.  Do you have a screenshot 
utility installed?  A macro utility?  A keyboard mapping utility?  Are you 
using any Windows accessibility features?  Any of those are likely culprits
for intercepting certain Control-key commands before regular applications
have a chance to act on them.  
 
But even if you don't track down what's intercepting Ctrl+M, you should 
still be able to use the Alt, o, p, d key sequence.  Not as convenient as
Ctrl+M, but at least you don't have to reach for the mouse.
