Hi,
I'm having a lot of trouble with the keyboard shortcuts.
I followed these instructions:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgeba ... nge-Editor
but what I want to assign for example ctrl+o to browse, when I hit the register icon on the right, it's saved as crtl only, and does not work.
Typing other shortcuts gives weird results: ctrl+p gives ctl*, ctrl+7 gives ctrl>.
There is some kind of keyboard mismatch, even though my Windows 11 installation only uses the US layout.
Edit: I noticed after posting this that this was happening with other apps too. Rebooting solved the problem.
Keyboard shortcuts broken?

Hello Bob8K,
Welcome to our Forum.
When you tried to assign it, did you see a message that the current shortcut is used by another tool/feature?

Hi,
You posted about the same time I was editing my request: the problem was system wide, a reboot solved it.
Thanks for the tip anyway.
