After updating Sigil in my Windows 10 box to 2.5.0, I checked out a few things and that involved using the focus shortcuts.

To my surprise, Ctrl+Shift+C opened up an app to record a video clip instead of placing the focus in Sigil's Code View. I tracked that down to Zoom. Earlier in the day, I'd had a couple of Zoom meetings after which I shut Zoom down. But that still left four Zoom processes running as background processes.

One of those was called 'Zoom Workplace' and that was the one which had to be closed down to get Sigil's shortcut available to Sigil.

Investigation inside Zoom's settings showed that the Clip recording option could be de-selected which I did. And thereafter, there was no more interference by Zoom.

Ctrl+Shift+T and D are also potential shortcuts which can be selected in Zoom but appear to be unselected by default. I tried activating them and, sure enough, they interfere with Sigil if the Zoom Workplace process is still running in the background. They don't launch any unwanted app but simply take priority and prevent Sigil's focus from moving to the TOC or Clips.

Interestingly, the shortcut options inside Zoom on linux seem to be far, far fewer. Only Ctrl-Shift-D exists and the few shortcuts that are listed appear to be all activated by default - no check boxes to select or deselect. But Ctrl+Shift+D doesn't5 worry Sigil on linux.

Not a Sigil problem, but noted in case it happens to anyone else.
