    Hey guys,

    Few days back, I noticied that a particular key combination is not working on my laptop.

    ie. " Ctrl + Alt + C " Used to bring up the Canvas Size Editor in Photoshop Series.

    But i also found this combination is not working with the Operating System either. This combination is being Ignored.

    I just wanted to know if this is issue for me only or for all the users.

    Yu can try this by, Right Clicking a Shortcut (Any App) -> In Shortcut key, Hit these Keys at once " Alt + Ctrl + C ", see if this combination is getting detected or not.

    Thanks!

    umm, it works on mine. and i suspect most others.

    if yo uhave it assigned as a shortcut, when you try to enter it into another shortcut, it will immediately flip back to "None" and the app with that key-combo will open.

    if that's not happening - and I presume it's not, otherwise, you'd have solved it. It might be "stuck". i've seen Windows grab a hotkey combo and not give it back. A reboot should fix this condition.

    If it still doesn't work, you might need to go through each application's hotkey assignment procedure and try to assign it. Virtually ever app I've used has a resolution process when you assign one that flags a dupe. And most will tell you what it's assigned to.

    Finally, there are utilities out there that will iterate the key combos that Windows is keeping track of. I went looking for one I used to use but don't have it on the HDD anymore. Google should find some...
