Ctrl+alt+a, ctrl+alt+s, ctrl+alt+d not working anymore on 2 different computers

#1

For some reason, these shortcuts stopped working no my computer and my coworker’s too last friday (I have custom shortcuts for these). It seems that sublime is not registering them. I tried the command “sublime.log_commands(True)” to see if they ever got registered and nothing.

Then I changed the shortcuts to ctrl+alt+f, or +w, or +e and they all work. I also tried to change to ctrl+alt+shift+a, ctrl+alt+shift+s, ctrl+alt+shift+d and they all work fine too. So there’s something weird with that exact combination. I’m on Windows 10. Maybe windows may be intercepting those? Anyone experienced that?

Thanks.

I’ve also been having this problem with the ctrl+alt+d binding on Windows 10, build 3156. I thought I was just having weird package key overlap issues (trying to use Sublimerge’s default binding), but indeed nothing shows up with log_commands on.

e: For kicks, I set up a fresh portable install of 3143, and added this mapping to my User keymaps:

[
	{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+d"], "command": "toggle_full_screen" },
]

And log_commands still shows nothing for that input. I’d appreciate if someone with another machine handy (and/or other OSes?) could do a sanity-check.

rather than just checking log_commands, you should also check log_input - if ST shows no input, then it’s pretty much guaranteed that something is eating that key combo before ST can see it

That’s perfect. Using log_input it really doesn’t register ctrl+alt+a, +s, and +d. Everything else gets registered. So there must be something intercepting that. Maybe windows. Now just gotta find out. The problem is that outside sublime that key combination does nothing either.

By any chance, do you have the Microsoft Teams client running? I was going through my background applications, killing them one by one and then testing in Sublime with log_input, and after I closed that one, ctrl-alt-d started getting passed through properly. Re-launching Teams starts blocking the input again.

Wow… good job! I killed microsoft teams and the shortcuts are working again. Opened MS teams, and the shortcuts are gone. So apparently MS teams is screwing us (more than it normally does).

If you go on settings, keyboard shortcuts, you can see that Teams use these to accept calls, etc. But I haven’t found a way to unbind them.
