Howdy,

That was probably a key assignment you did to a stadard macro supplied with TeXShop. Do you have an `emphasize' macro under Macros->Text Styles (I can't remember if I added that al LONG time ago or it come with default TeXShop)?

If you do you need to run the Macro Editor (Macros->Open Macro Editor), open the `Text Styles' "folder", choose that macro and assign `i' to the command (the Cmd key is assumed).

If the `emphasize' isn't define just define a new macro that has \emph{#SEL##INS#} as its content, call it emphasize, assign i to the shortcut (again Cmd is assumed) move it around to where you want it in the Macros Menu (initially it's at the bottom of the list) and Save it.

PS: I also have a macro under the Text Styles item called Bold which is assigned to Cmd-B (i.e. b in the Macro Edditor) and contains \textbf{#SEL##INS#}.

Good Luck,
