Command Right/Left stopped working

Don't know why or how, but the shortcuts command-right and command-left are not working any more.


and when I go to the keyboard viewer, and press on of those, the arrows key don't get highlighted. (without command pressed they do).


Any ideas?

I found s solution, so I'll leave it here for anyone who's having my same issue.


I had swapped Command and Control and under System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Mission Control the shortcut Control+Left and Control+Right were being used by mission control. I unchecked those two shortcuts (because I don't use Mission Control), but changing them to something else would do the trick as well.

I recently played with the Mission Control keys and assigned desktop moving keys to shift+command+arrow, which caused the issue.


Switching the keys to Alt+arrow didn't help, since the keys got un-assigned from somewhere else the keyboar shortcuts don't show.


What worked for me was to reset shortcuts and re-assign my mission shortcuts straight to alt+arrow.
