Control-Option-Command-Delete command not working in Monterey
Title
Control-Option-Command-Delete command not working in Monterey
What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?
Run a macro with key command Control-Option-Command-Delete. (the delete/backspace key directly above backslash).
Are you seeing an error?
What happens when you run this script?
On a new Mac Studio with Monterey, I seem to be unable to assign the keyboard trigger Control-Option-Command-Delete. SoundFlow is not recognizing that combination. Is this reserved for something else in Monterey? I can't figure it out.
How were you running this script?

Hi Michael,
Yes, I think that's probably because Monterey has it reserved. SoundFlow only receives keystrokes from macOS that macOS does not itself reserve, so if it "blocks" a keystroke that has been assigned for something else, SF won't receive it and has no way of altering that.
You could try looking up in Keyboard settings in System Preferences to see if it's reassignable there, but not all system-reserved shortcuts are.

Hey Guys, Ive been looking for a few hours how to get past the ctrl deal. Im using it in a switch case. Shift, command and alt work for me on Monterey 12.6. Still cant get ctrl to go. Any luck on your end?

Hi Ryan,
Please refer to my answer from above. As mentioned, if the OS reserves the combination, there's nothing SF can do if it doesn't receive those key strokes from the OS in the first place.
