    Ctrl+space suddenly stopped working in applications


    Ctrl+space is a vital key in Emacs.After starting my computer from hibernate sleep, Ctrl+space did not work any longer.It appears as not being mapped at all.It does not seem to change any input language, it does nothing.A reboot did not help.The on-screen keyboard does not work either, Ctrl+space is dead.I can however remap Ctrl+space with PowerToys and thereby get this key to work, but this is just a work-around.How do I see what Ctrl+space is mapped to, and how do I restore its mapping so that it reaches applications as before?

    :)

    WIn + space stopped working for me...

    While CTRL + win + Space or Shift + win + space do work. What is funny is that when i press win + space it works like I only pressed space.

    Win button is working for sure, checked it

    Languages list is showing when ctrl or shiift is additionally pressed

    Any suggestions?

    Ctrl+space suddenly stopped working in applications

    CTRL+PgUp // CTRL+PgDn

    My CTRL+PgUp and CTRL+PgDn hotkey suddenly stopped working. The keys work independently (i.e. my CTRL keys and PgUp PgDn functions work on their own), but the combination no longer works for switching tabs in Chrome or even Excel.

    Any suggestions as to why this may be happening?

    Thanks!
