Shortcut Ctrl+Alt+M not changable
currently I use shortcuts a lot and adjust them for my needs.

Only Ctrl+Alt+M cannot be used by anything.
It can be entered but it is ignored resp. doing nothing.

As we have recently found. Some shortcuts are OWNED by the OS and can't be used by other apps

I have Ctrl+Alt+M assigned to Clear Marked Books - works fine. So you probably have it assigned to something else. You probably know of these, but in case you don't:

Keyboard Shortcut Lists for Windows, MacOS, Linux.

List Active Keyboard Shortcut Assignments tool in the Job Spy plugin

From your cvs in the other thread I can see you use Alt+Shift+M which works also fine for me.
The issue is with Ctrl (instead of Shift).

I was not aware of the OS limitation to this shortcut but it not really an issue for me.

Just curious: How does Calibre act when a hotkey is in-use by another program? I have a handful of global hotkeys for various programs, though I try to make sure they don't conflict. (Non-customizable hotkeys is one of my banes.)

If I try to assign an in-use hotkey to a calibre custom sequence the other program kicks in before calibre even sees it. FX, if I press Wordweb's hotkey when setting a calibre custom sequence Wordweb pops up, and the calibre custom sequence shows as Ctrl+Ins

If I exit Wordweb and then set a calibre custom keyboard shortcut to Wordweb's hotkey it works fine, but if I start WordWeb it gets priority. Same with Clipboard Fusion hotkeys. WordWeb and Clipboard Fusion run as background processes, whereas calibre runs as an App. Not sure what would happen if I ran calibre in the tray.

When I can, I use the Winkey in global hotkeys and when I can't, I use Ctrl+Shift + top-row keys - I still have ^&*()_ and + available.
