copy as citation shortcut not working

[A. Smith]

When I ⌃⌘C nothing happens. Every other shortcut that I've tried (specifically the 'copy as' options) work fine. I've searched every app and system preference for possible conflicts and can't find one. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't know if my sig is up to date. I'm running v11 and 10.11.6

 

I know of one other person running the same setup who is not having this problem, so I'm assuming it's something unique to my set up. But I've got no idea how to find it beyond what I've done.

Hello

 

I've tried the short-cut and it doesn't work. 2-3x

Then I had copy with the right-click, that has worked.

Then back to the shot-cuts and now the short-cuts works too.

 

 

I found out that there is also sometimes a bug with the service. I had set short-cut keys for the service feature and for the first time I had to choose the right-click and then the short-cut keys works.

I had the same problem. From memory it was one of the shortcuts from the Evernote Clipper that conflicted.

Michael, you nailed it. Thanks! I forgot web clipper had its own keyboard shortcuts. Thanks!

I think that falls under the unintended software interaction sub-rule of Murphy's law! Others call such interaction an undocumented feature. ;-)

Yep, Evernote was a culprit for me, too.
