Need to disable a keyboard shortcut that Shows Desktop

[trailmonkey]

A couple of years ago, I set up a shortcut for SHIFT+Z to Show Desktop. I think I did it to test something, but I never disabled it and now I can't find it anywhere. Have looked through Shortcuts, System Settings > Desktop & Dock, Keyboard etc, plus Automator. I used to have Alfred installed but never used it so I uninstalled it.

Have gone through application list and can't see anything in there that would do it.

Does anyone have any ideas? It's becoming annoying now because a project I'm working on starts with a 'Z', so I'm activating this unwanted shortcut all the time.

Cheers

System Settings – Keyboard – Keyboard Shortcuts – Mission Control – Show Desktop

Cheers, but I've already checked through all System Settings... Show Desktop is currently mapped to F11, which still works, but so does SHIFT+z

I should add that I've never used Karabiner, Better Touch Tools or Keyboard Maestro so it's not those. Any other apps that create hotkeys/shortcuts?

You could have created a QuickAction in Automator and set a shortcut.

Check in System Settings – Keyboard – Keyboard Shortcuts – Services.

Cheers, but I've already checked everything under Keyboard - Keyboard Shortcuts (just done so again) and there's nothing there.

It's weird for sure.

Then it must be an app/launch agent/daemon that starts at launch.

System Settings - General - Login Items

Or check ~/Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons.

Thanks again for giving me additional things to check.

I removed a couple of (irrelevant) login apps and checked through all agents and daemons - nothing unusual showing, but the issue still exists.

Just upgraded to Sequoia too.

I might create a new user account and see if it still happens in that.

I ended up resetting accessibility privileges and it finally worked (had to reboot Mac as it initially froze). I assume SHIFT+Z was somehow still being called by a 3rd party app that might have been uninstalled?

tccutil reset Accessibility; sudo sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db "SELECT client FROM access WHERE service='kTCCServiceAccessibility';"

Do you have Logi Options+ installed (or some other app for your keyboard)? If so, did you set the shortcut in there?

 

[trailmonkey]

Yes I have Logi Options with my MX Master 3 but I've not used it for a while. Have lots of mouse shortcuts but can't see any keyboard ones.

sudo sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db "SELECT client FROM access WHERE service='kTCCServiceAccessibility';"

This part is not needed, it’s not correct, and it only works with SIP disabled (as far as I know).

To list apps that have accessibility permissions:

sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db "SELECT client FROM access WHERE service='kTCCServiceAccessibility';"

or to see the complete record

sqlite3 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db "select * from access where service='kTCCServiceAccessibility';"

To reset accessibility permissions for one app:

tccutil reset Accessibility com.logi.optionsplus
