Spectacle: New Chrome "select next tab" shortcut conflicts

Created on 18 May 2016 · 2Comments · Source: eczarny/spectacle

I blame Chrome for this, but curious if anyone has found a workaround so that Spectacle takes precedence over local apps. I woke up today to find that a new version of Chrome (Version 50.0.2661.102 (64-bit)) has hijacked my option-cmd-arrow keys to switch tabs. I use command+[] to change tabs, but I can't figure out how to disable this new default in Chrome.

Anyone run into this as well?

Nevermind. I just went into my mail program, and found a similar conflict. I then closed and relaunched Spectacle, and things are working again. Here's what I suspect happened.

I updated Spectacle, and when it relaunched, it somehow didn't regrab global control. Or maybe the launch order of apps upon a reboot caused it. But for posterity, I'll leave this open and suggest: quit and relaunch Spectacle

For future generations, I didn't even have to quit and relaunch Spectacle -- I just hit "Check for Updates..." and the key bindings started working again.
