as for your shortcuts, make certain that capslock isn't on. That will cause keyboard shortcuts to not work.

For the split poly tool, there are a few rules for it to work. You have to make certain that your cuts are stopping on an edge, and that the edge you are making your next cut to is a consecutive edge on the surface and isn't being blocked by another edge.

Good luck.
