macbook pro – Keyboard combination not being registered at all


My machine is a 13 inch Macbook Pro, M1 2020 running Monteray

I have a problem with this particular keyboard combination: control + option + up, which does not register at all. I found the problem because using that keyboard combination rectangle.

When I tried the combination on a keyboard tester site, (eg this one), or tried to set a keyboard shortcut under Keyboard > Shortcut preferences, it didn’t work.

The odd thing is that only this particular combination doesn’t register. Other similar combinations work well:

  • control + option + left
  • control + option + down
  • control + option + right

I tried:

  • Unplug everything and try the mac keyboard combination
  • Shut down the machine and start it again after waiting at least one minute
  • Kills most background apps
