The hotkey does not react, while others work.

Only happened twice until now (Template, Smart Random Note (Plugin by Eric Hall)). The hotkeys always have been a combination of cmd+alt+key. Most of the time I have 2 separate vaults with different hotkeys open. Restarting Obsidian fixes the issue; resetting the hotkey does not.

Maybe it is just the weirdness of my setup, maybe someone has encountered the same problems.

MacOS 10.15.7
happenden on Obsidian Versions: 0.9.19 and 0.9.21

if you have repro steps, let us know.

It might be after updating obsidian. It only occurred twice over the course of a month, so I can’t say for certain. I’ll keep it in mind.

This also happens to me. I was trying to reproduce it before filing a bug report, but it appears to be random.

I am.

Same problem happened to me.

Once on 0.9.21 I believe, several of the common hotkeys (Ctrl - O, Ctrl - P, navigate back/forward) didn’t work anymore. Restarting Obsidian fixed the issue.

Today on 0.9.22 the custom hotkey I made for open today’s note didn’t work anymore. I use Ctrl - N for that hotkey, but instead got the standard ‘make new note’ behaviour that is the default for Ctrl - N. Looking in the hotkey settings I also couldn’t find the ‘go to daily note’ hotkey anymore. When I restarted Obsidian, the hotkey worked fine again.

I’m on Windows.

For me it always have been hotkeys with CMD+ALT+ …

Does this happen with no third party plugins enabled?

I don’t use third party plugins. I have the following core plugins enabled:

  • File explrorer
  • Search
  • Quick switcher
  • Backlinks
  • Starred
  • Command palette
  • Daily notes
  • Random notes
  • Sync (as of 0.9.21).

I have found the root cause of the issue, and will be releasing a fix in the next version!
