  • Click OK.
Please check bookmark shortcuts:

    • Click Edit....
    • Clear the Shift + 3 keyboard shortcut.
    • Click OK.
  • Click OK.
Please check command shortcuts:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options....
  • Click the Keyboard tab on the left:

Thanks for your replies, I'm using Version 1.4.1.1009 (x64), Windows 10 Pro 21H1, I use Autohotkey, no keymappers

None of the checks in everything, (filters, bookmarks, keyboard) showed shift + 3 anywhere so still a mystery

so uninstalled everything and got a message from autohotkey! problem solved ...

self inflicted error, once I deleted the ahk all ok

AHK_search.ahk
