Keyboard shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + D (Document this) doesn't work

I am using VS2017 Pro (15.7.4), with GhostDoc Community. Some days (it doesn't happen always), when I use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + SHITF + D, it won't work. If that happens, it won't work through all the VS session. If I restart again, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. If it works, it will work through the VS session.

If I go through the menu, it works all right.

If I go and reassign the shortcut (Tools > GhostDoc > ReAssign Shortcut), it still doesn't work.

I believe this happens since some resharper upgrade that happened like 2 months ago

Please open Visual Studio->Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard->Press shortcut keys and press Ctrl-Shoft-D. Then please take a look at "Shortcut currently used by" window and send us screenshot.

Hello Misha. Thanks for your comments

Weird. When I go to Visual Studio->Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard and press CTRL+SHIFT+D, VS doesn't recognize the shortcut and show me nothing. If I press CTRL+D, it finds a shortcut, if I press CTRL + SHIFT + another letter (F, for example), it finds the shortcut. Only not with CTRL + SHIFT + D

Which says it should be correctly configured.

The fact that it looks like VS doesn't receive the shortcut looks promising.

Used Spy++ to capture keyboard events, and I see that this WM_SHORTCUT event has been sent to Catlight, an application to check the status of builds, which I believe is built on electron. And it looks like it has the chrome dev tools open.

Then I close the Catlight window and the shortcut works perfectly.

So mystery solved

Thanks a huge lot :)
