Right arrow behaving strangely on 15.1 and 15.2

[theboyler]

Something odd has happened with my right-arrow cursor key in 15.1 and the behaviour persists on 15.2 Public Beta (build 24C5073e).

 

Once Alfred is launched, the right cursor key doesn't respond in other apps - it doesn't move the cursor along text, or to the next cell in excel etc; there's no effect at all. But when in Alfred, the right arrow works as intended. Once Alfred is quit, the right arrow goes back to being recognised across all applications. Aside from a screen video showing how this is the case, I'm not sure what evidence of the bug I can provide!

Did you, by chance, assign a hotkey trigger to respond to the right arrow key? For some reason this is possible and causes the behavior you are describing.

Perhaps it's worth checking out: In Alfred, type ?hotkey trigger to inspect all the shortcuts you have assigned. 

 

Look for something like this:

Nothing is assigned to the right arrow when I get the list of hotkey assignations!= 😞

I know this is a terribly simple response…but have you tried rebooting your Mac? 😀

Hi Stephen - yes! Have worked out what it was; I'd changed the selection hotkey to right arrow without a modifier.

Not sure what you mean. Could you clarify, in case it’s helpful to someone else in the future?
