So for some reason after upgrading, keyboard shortcuts no longer work.

I had one for tilix quake mode and it stopped working, all my custom ones did.

When I go to add a new custom keyboard shortcut, and click “set shortcut”, it shows the window where you normally entered a shortcut but it never detects anything. Tried tons of combinations and it just shows the picture of a keyboard till I hit escape.

Edit: Never mind, it works again after rebooting again.🤷‍♂️

I’ve had this problem as well, especially with function key shortcuts. Reboots sometimes fix it for me, but not always.

Same issue as this [Volume up-down, calculator, ctr-ALTl T, windows key +A and more, not working anymore](https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/volume-up-down-calculator-ctr-altl-t-windows-key-a-and-more-not-working-anymore/140/95)

It is also known upstream - so needs to be be dug into further - [https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/1763](https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/1763)
