Lock doesn't work when QQ(an instant communication app in China) is running

Hi. Lock doesn't work when QQ(an instant communication app in China) is running.

More specifically, Lock can work normally when QQ is not opened, but when QQ is opened, function Lock is converted to show QQ window. very strange and confusing

Hi @AsterY, welcome to the forum.

 

I believe Alfred’s Lock works by simulating the Hotkey for macOS’s “Lock Screen” function, which is ^⌘Q.

 

So what’s probably happening is that QQ has redefined ^⌘Q, which is why it’s activating.

Hotkey conflict

Hi. When QQ (a Chinese instant messaging programme) is open, the lock does not operate.

Lock, in particular, may operate normally when QQ is not open, but when QQ is opened, Lock is transformed to reveal the QQ window. really odd and perplexing

The likely reason was explained a few posts back.

Some friends have encountered a situation where locking the screen using a hotkey ctrl+cmd+q works, but using the "lock" command does not work.
