Any method in macOS to find out what’s binding particular keyboard shortcuts?


I am in search of some solutions on the next situation …

The Problem

Not too long ago macOS stopped doing something once I use the shortcut SHIFT-CMD-N.

In browsers, this may usually open a brand new incognito/personal window. In Finder it will create a brand new folder. There’s certain to be different apps for which it’s a shortcut.

At the moment it does nothing. It is as if one thing else has been globally assigned to it, and for no matter motive that “one thing” is not truly doing something I can determine. So I’ve no method of figuring out what has taken over that keyboard command. As it is a command I take advantage of so much (in Finder and in browsers) I might like to repair is.

Is there any approach to discover out what’s assigned to it?

What I’ve Tried So Far

  1. I attempted trying in “Keyboard >> Keyboard Shortcuts >> Functions” within the System preferences, however discovered nothing assigned to this key command. I seemed by means of every thing else in “Keyboard >> Keyboard Shortcuts” too.

  2. I discovered this very previous submit. However nothing in there was related or helpful. The apps Keycue and CheatSheet had been talked about as doubtlessly useful. However I’ve examined the trial of Keycue and it solely exhibits me what the shortcuts are for the app that’s at the moment lively. Which within the case of Finder or Chrome, it can present me what I might count on to see assigned to SHIFT-CMD-N. But they aren’t doing something. Similar state of affairs with CheatSheet.

  3. I’ve additionally tried manually assigning that shortcut to the respective menu gadgets for Finder and Chrome, within the above-mentioned “Keyboard Shortcuts” preferences. That had no impact.

  4. I discovered this submit, which the OP advised an app known as Peletro as an answer. That did not assist both.

What else can I do to troubleshooting this?

I’m utilizing macOS 13.3.1

Thanks very a lot.
