How to delete shortcut Ctrl + Shift?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



For better clarity, please help us with the details requested below:

• Have you assigned the “Ctrl + Shift” shortcut for any application?
  

Ideally, the shortcut Ctrl + Shift is used to switch the keyboard layout when multiple keyboard layouts are available. If you have assigned the shortcut for a keyboard layout, you may try changing it by following the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Devices and select
   Typing on the left pane.
   
3. Scroll down and select Advanced keyboard settings.
   
4. Click on Input language hot keys.
   
5. Select the layout for which you have assigned the shortcut and click on
   Change Key Sequence.
   
6. Under Switch Keyboard Layout, select
   Not assigned.
   
7. Click on OK (Twice).
   

Let us know the results.

Ctrl + W works as if Ctrl + V... but only once

Turns out TenClips Clipboard Manager overrides Ctrl + W by default

I got my Ctrl + W back by:

• Opening TenClips settings
  
• Removing the shortcut for "Paste purified text", which was set to Ctrl + W by default
  

Apparently these settings will be reset on reboot unless you pay for TenClips... so I am now using CopyQ

 

Disable ctrl-shift-W

That's an easy one: Record your own macro to center a text, then assign it to Ctrl+Shift+W.
