The quick capture shortcut on my Mac no longer works. It was working with the default (Command-Shift-1) but that conflicts with the same shortcut that I use in another app, so I changed it to something similar (Control-Option-1) but that never worked. I know it isn’t conflicting with another app. I set it back to the default, but it still doesn’t work. I’m so confused, never seen anything like this.
Ideas?
After the change, could it have conflicted with something else that you have running?
Did you try?:
Wow, restarting Drafts worked. It’s definitely not conflicting with other apps, and after that worked, I tried setting the shortcut to what I wanted it to be in the first place — after a restart of Drafts it works now! Surprising but happy it’s working. Thanks!!
Not sure what went wrong. This has come up for a number of people, but always seems to go away, and I’ve never been able to reproduce it - so it’s kind of hard to troubleshoot.
Thanks, you guys are great!
Any more insight into potential causes for this bug? I just discovered this thread because I had the same issue—neither my Main Window Shortcut nor my Quick Capture Shortcut were working. If you’re still investigating the issue, I noticed that DEVONThink 3 assigned the shortcut “⌘+@” to the action “Append Rich Note,” which may explain which app gets prioritized for that shortcut. I’ve disabled DEVONThink’s shortcut to see if it permanently resolves my issue with the Quick Capture Shortcut.
P.S. I also have DEVONagent Express, which assigned “⌘+!” to the action “Lookup…” and may have been interfering with Drafts’s default “⌘+Shift+1” for the Main Window Shortcut.
