Command +D is not working

#1

Hi Guys,
For me , Super +D is not working. I am working on a vanilla installation. Here is what I see in the console.

but when I press command + d , the next item is not selected. Please see this https://cl.ly/a55b59ae1b2e video.

I removed all the extensions , packages, settings and what not, but even then its not working.
I am on a MAC 10.14.4 and I have tried the latest builds of both stable and dev. I am currently on 3207

Thanks

If you open the console and enter sublime.log_commands(True) and then press the key, what command does the console log?

These are the following that gets logged to the console.
I believe that some of the commands are getting logged because I selected a text in the editor. Also I could not see anything that is logged corresponding to me pressing the command + d combination during that time window.

>>> sublime.log_commands(True)
command: drag_select {"event": {"button": 1, "x": 310.11328125, "y": 147.75}}
command: drag_select {"event": {"button": 1, "x": 159.87890625, "y": 119.54296875}}
command: drag_select {"by": "words", "event": {"button": 1, "x": 160.15625, "y": 119.54296875}}
command: drag_select {"event": {"button": 1, "x": 682.1328125, "y": 1033.5}}

thanks

That is telling… If you use sublime.log_input(True) and press the key, do you see a log that says that you’re pressing the key?

Your problem sounds like there might be something external to Sublime capturing the keypress before Sublime can see it (like MacOS itself or another program with a global shortcut). Sublime only logs input keys that it detects, so not seeing it would be an indication of that.

If on the other hand you see something being logged but it’s not the key you think you’re pressing, then your keyboard layout is not what Sublime expects.

No, I dont see anything in the log that says I am pressing the key. Is there a way , I can see where that key combination is being used on my system ?

Thanks

Not that I’m aware of off the top of my head. The only place I know to look is in the settings on MacOS where you can configure the keyboard shortcuts used by MacOS itself.

If you’re running other programs, you might try quitting everything but Sublime and seeing if that fixes it, then slowly start running tasks until you detect which one is doing it.

The problem is I have been using the same apps that I was using sometime ago and I have not reinstalled anything new. I have also restarted my system and even then its not working. Why it stopped working all of a sudden is beyond me.

Thanks
