Just to clarify: you're pressing the Ctrl key, Shift key and the X key simultaneously? They need to be pressed at the same time, not sequentially.

 

Can you swap out your keyboard to confirm it is not a hardware issue?

I have already tried keyboard swapping, no difference / no change... I am familiar with how the action should be performed eg: simultaneous holding of keys, or press and hold Ctrl key, Shift key and then the X keuntil all keys have been pressed..  I am new to the forum, but I have enjoyed using Paint.net for 15 YEARS.

BTW the command works when selected under the image tab, and Ctrl, Shift, C, still copies a selection and I can paste that.

Just miss having the hot-key(s) shortcut ability for cropping to selection.

Nothing has changed in the code for this ... it works fine for me and others. So, a reasonable, logical conclusion is it must be that something has changed on your system :-\ (whether intentionally or not is, of course, unknown)

what about a registry cleaner tool?  possible?

 

I find it doubtful that a registry cleaning tool caused the issue.

A more likely cause is that another program has registered a Global Hotkey for Ctrl+Shift+X.

There's no way for us to know for sure, since we don't have access to your computer.

(September 25th, 2023)  Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

I had my Ctrl + D stop working for months on end and I could not find a solution.  Then out of the blue it started to work again :)  Weird!

For me it was the AMD video driver hijacking the global Ctrl-Shift-X keyboard shortcut to toggle their performance overlay.

 

Good to know, thanks for the info
