Hi All,

That must be very annoying!
Are you sure you didn't assign ⌥⇧L in PB preferences (shortcuts)?
Or to a utility, like e.g. FastScripts?
Also check System Settings/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts… (it's a button)

In case, you can temporarily use this IDE tool, that types "|":

Code: Select all

Procedure simpleShell(ShellCommand$)
   Protected shell
   shell = RunProgram("/bin/sh","","", #PB_Program_Open|#PB_Program_Write)
   If shell
      WriteProgramStringN(shell,ShellCommand$)
      WriteProgramData(shell,#PB_Program_Eof,0)
      CloseProgram(shell)
   EndIf
EndProcedure

Define MyAScr.s = ~"osascript\n"+
~"-- wait for no modifier key pressed (shortcut)\n"+
~"use framework \"AppKit\" -- for NSEvent\n"+
~"repeat while (((current application's NSEvent's modifierFlags()) div ¬\n"+
~"(current application's NSShiftKeyMask as integer)) mod 2) > 0 or ¬\n"+
~"(((current application's NSEvent's modifierFlags()) div ¬\n"+
~"(current application's NSControlKeyMask as integer)) mod 2) > 0 or ¬\n"+
~"(((current application's NSEvent's modifierFlags()) div ¬\n"+
~"(current application's NSAlternateKeyMask as integer)) mod 2) > 0 or ¬\n"+
~"(((current application's NSEvent's modifierFlags()) div ¬\n"+
~"(current application's NSCommandKeyMask as integer)) mod 2) > 0\n"+
~"end repeat\n"+
~"tell application \"PureBasic\" to activate -- just in case\n"+
~"tell application \"System Events\"\n"+
~"tell application process \"PureBasic\" to keystroke \"|\"\n"+
~"end tell"
