Can'u use shortcuts to open the Trackpad Handwriting window

After updating to macOS Catalina 10.15.4, I can't use keyboard shortcut (Control–Shift–Space) to open the Trackpad Handwriting window.


I have tried deleted the original handwriting input source and re-add it. And also restarted. Still can't use that keyboard shortcuts. :(

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Hello Wingtung531,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand from the information you provided that you’re unable to launch the Trackpad Handwriting Window with the shortcut; I'd like to help.


To help isolate potential causes for this behavior, I suggest seeing if this continues to be an issue when you restart your Mac in safe mode:


Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac 


If you're able to launch the Trackpad Handwriting window without issue, the next step would be to rule out incompatible login items:


If your Mac has a blue screen or other startup problems


Specifically, check out the section labeled “Test your login items”


Also, testing in another user account can help determine if this may be user or account related settings causing this issue. Here's how you can create a new user for testing:

Keep us posted with the results.


Best Regards.
