Shortcut for screenshot stopped working, how can I get it back? Has this happened to anyone else? All of a sudden the shift + command + 3 stopped working to screenshot my screen on my Mac. What other shortcut could I use for screenshot or how can I fix this?

screenshot not working in Ventura with Macbook Pro When I try to use Shift + Command + 3 or Shift + Command + 4, my MacBook Pro doesn't respond. I tried Trece1's suggestion to safe reboot. This fixed the cut and paste shortcuts, but did nothing to fix the screenshot commands. I've recently updated to Ventura, the problem is still there. Any ideas? Thanks

The screenshot shortcut stopped working today on Mac Studio - how can I fix it? New Mac Studio we've had for just under two weeks and just updated to Monterey 12.5. The screenshot shortcuts worked maybe a day or so before not working anymore after the 12.5 install. All screenshot shortcuts do nothing unless I open up the preference panel to shortcuts > screenshots and then it works 3 or 4 times ONLY while the preference panel is open. Then after the 3 or 4 screenshot shortcut tests, it stops again even with the preference panel open. I have tried clicking restore defaults in preferences. I can open up the screenshot app and take screenshots ok it is just the shortcuts that no longer work. Did not have this issue until after 12.5 install. Wondering if anyone else has same issue or if there is a fix or official bug reported yet

Perhaps you changed something in Keyboard Preferences.

Click Restore Defaults if you so choose.
