alt, shift, 3 not working
 
Hello, anyone have any idea what could of happen to my keyboard that the 3 on the number pad works but not with the alt, shift, 3 option.
I have to use the 3 on the top. The 3 on the number pad works fine on anything else except to consolidate. Was working fine until this week.

As far as I know, it has always been that way:o Using the 3 on the upper row makes Consolidate a one-handed command anyway:D

I always used the keypad for the 3 lol.:D
Now it doesn't work, just strange

Well, with the new feature of customizing keyboard shortcuts, you might be able to put that one back in:o

Same issue here as well. Windows 11 Pro - Pro Tools 2022.6

I've done a clean uninstall and reinstall of Pro Tools to no avail.

I'm used to numpad "3" - although the other "#3" works.

Happens to me as well since 2022.7 on mac

solved:
In fact the consokidate command always opened the task manager.
So i went to the keyboaard shortcuts window an deleted its command.
Strange because task manager command was given shift alt #
which should not react when I press the consolidate keys shift alt 3

But now it works again

This is likely due to having your keyboard in US configuration. Glad you found a solution:D

Yes, same issue here with the new update.

And no: it never opened the task manager here

how did you delete the task manager window command? Just can't figure it out. Thank you

> Oh I just found out that with the 22.04 update they introduced the keyboard shortcut manager (option shift k) - haha, thanks anyway!

Both number row and numpad work for me on macOS 10.14.6.

Same here.
The shortcut now opens the Task Manager even tho the shortcut manager mentions the consolidate short cut (alt/opt+shift+3) and (alt/opt+shift+NUMPAD3)
correctly. The latter still works.

Follow up:

I can make it work again if I delete the original shortcut for the task manager, but we’ll, then the original task manager shortcut also doesn’t work anymore.
Any ideas?

Thank you!

ctrl + shift + k opens the keyboard shortcuts manager.
Type in the ‘search by key’ box ‘task manager’.
This will show you the shortcut for task manager.
Hovering over the column ‘key combination’ will show you an ‘x’ next to the
Key combination.
Click on it to remove the shortcut.
Click on the reset button on the right side to undo.
Please mind that the shortcut for task manager (opt + shift + #) will no longer work as well.

Re: alt, shift, 3 not working
 
Something seems broken in how PT reads the Num Pad:
go to Keyboard Shortcuts
Activate "Search by Key"
Press Shift + some Num Pad keys
Result: keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and "Comma" are not recognized as Num Pad keys but standard cursor keys instead.
If you use other modifiers (Ctrl, Alt, Start) _without_ Shift (or no modifier) all the Num Pad keys are recognized properly.
(Tested on Windows)

So Alt + Shift + NP 3 is recognized as Alt + Shift + Page Down (and can be set as the shortcut for Consolidate Clip as a dirty workaround)

NumPad on Classic or Transport in Operations tab in preferences? This was reset for me recently in an update. I wanted Classic, but it was default to Transport. Does yours say Transport? Does Classic make the behavior what you expect?

The key reported by Search by Key is wrong in both Classic and Transport modes
I reported this Shift + Num Pad behavior as a bug, hope for a fix

Re: alt, shift, 3 not working
 
Seems to be fixed in 23.6.
alt+shift+3 renders now an audio file and so does alt+shift+Num3.
alt+shift+# will open the task manager.
