keyboard shortcuts stop working

everything works fine until some point (random) in somedays it doesn't even happend , shortcuts like alt+f4 or alt+tab works fine but super (whisker-menu) , ctrl+t (terminal) and even printscreen (flameshot) doesnt work now and its bad because i get used to use a lot of thesse shortcuts , i tried to find some solution and didnt find anything EXACTLY this issue , if is a repost sorry , pls help

using XFCE 4.14 on 5.4.35-1-MANJARO

the weird thing is , the shortcut to change workspaces (ctrl+alt+arrow keys) works fine

edit : idk if this can be a ultravnc viewer bug or a ssh bug , because i use both

Re: keyboard shortcuts stop working

The ones that you mention that continue to work are window manager shortcuts. The others are managed by the settings manager. Any log file entries in ~/.xsession-errors or the journal?

To debug it further, you can run xfsettingsd in debug mode and see if you can capture an error event when they stop working.
