Some Shortcuts in WinEdt are broken, what happened?

This can happen, if you upgrade your Windows, or install new software that may use your shortcut in question as Hotkey. Some shortcuts have a predefined meaning and they cannot be reassigned. For example, Alt-Tab, Alt-F4, Alt-ESC, etc… are interpreted by the Windows System Menu or Task Manager. And Ctrl-F4, Ctrl-Tab, and even Ctrl-F6, is interpreted by Windows MDI (you’ll notice the same in YAP and Adobe Reader – both being MDI applications like WinEdt) … But there is not only Microsoft that can hijack your shortcuts. Eg. if you used to have Shift-Ctrl-I for the TeX Insert Font Popup Menu and you install ICQ (an Instant Messenger), well, your WinEdt shortcut isn’t available anymore, because ICQ uses it as Hotkey to bring its GUI to the foreground. You will have to change the shortcut or disable them all in ICQ. Depending on your keyboard settings some other keys might be used to change the keyboard layout (German keyboards have Shift-Ctrl-E assigned to the EURO symbol). In any case
