I'm not able to set the shortcut with cmd+opt+ctrl + left arrow to move left. (⌘⌥⌃←) #1081

I was using shift it and hammer-spoon which do not work correctly on my machine. So I moved to Rectangle and it works like a charm to move to the next screen which wasn't with Shiftit and Hammerspoon.

I'm trying to set the shortcuts compatible with Hammerspoon, so I tried to set

To move to Left Half I tried to set (cmd+ctrl+opt+left arrow) ⌘⌥⌃←, but it doesn't record. Is there a way to achieve it?

First try checking the box in the settings tab: "Remove shortcut recorder safeguards".

If you still can't record it, then it's likely being consumed by another app and isn't making it to Rectangle.

I have plans to replace the shortcut recorder in an upcoming release, it's just a matter of getting a block of time I can commit to it. At that time, I'll be able to make some changes to better handle these types of scenarios.

Same issue for me. I have checked the box "Allow all keyboard shortcuts" (roughly translated from Swedish) and it still won't let me bind ctrl-opt-cmd-left and right, however up and down works. Version 0.66 and I'm using Ventura 13.2.1.

Same issue here! I'm coming from Moom, and I was setting up the same layouts that I had there I manged to set most of them but the cmd+ctrl+opt+s ⌘⌥⌃s doesn't go through :(

I was all ready to say that this issue was happening for me as well, but it turned out that ⌘⌥⌃← and ⌘⌥⌃→ were already claimed by different shortcuts in Rectangle. I don't think this is the case for the original bug reporter (if that first screenshot is accurate) but it might be useful for others who encounter this bug.

Once I cleared the shortcuts for “Next Display” and “Previous Display,” I was able to assign ⌘⌥⌃← and ⌘⌥⌃→ to “Left Half” and “Right Half,” respectively.

I think it might still be considered a bug that the shortcut recorder appears not to be able to listen properly for a shortcut that's already assigned. I'm sure it's complicated under the hood, but it seems like…

…turned out to be true — only the shortcuts were being consumed by Rectangle themselves and still weren't making it to the shortcut recorder. Maybe a workaround would be to have the keyboard shortcuts screen indicate somehow when Rectangle is reacting to a shortcut — if the “Next Display” shortcut had flashed when I pressed ⌘⌥⌃→, I'd have more quickly realized what was going on.

(I was able to understand that Rectangle itself was responding to the shortcut by using Shortcut Detective — made by the same folks that made SizeUp, the software I've installed Rectangle to replace.)
