Flipping normals won't work

[cross]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Blender and I've just downloaded and installed version 2.36 running on Linux, Fedora Core 2 with GNOME. I'm having problems constructing the 'Gus' character presented in the manual. Specifically, When I try to create the left side of the body by duplicating and flipping the right side I get no result.

Here's what I've tried:
1) Build right side as per instructions
2) Select all verticies (KEYA)
3) Select 3D cursor button
4) Duplicate selected verticies (KEYD)
5) Select scaling (KEYS)
6) Flip on X (KEYX)
7) Finish (both ENTER and LHM have been tried)

I've tried this numerous times with no result. Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Cameron.

Mirror has changed to CTRL-M.

ctrl+m in object mode or m in edit mode.

Ctrl-M works in edit mode too. Simply M is only kept for backward compatibility and might be droped in the future if we need the key for something else.

I'd say remove it. SX is also not kept for backward compatibility.
