[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1515632, member: 101749"] Well thanks to your advice lifeisabeach mate. I ended up finding which .plist is was but took some digging. I logged into my Guest account and all was fine, so i then knew it was isolated to my account then. It ended up being ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.HIToolbox.A1E24B4D-9138-5257-A16D-D88924077F05.plist and below is what was inside it. Makes sense, BUT after playing around, i logged in and out and it re-appeared and i lost my shortcut again, i deleted it, logged bad out/in and I'm fine again and have my shortcut. Not sure if this going to happen in the future, and if it does, why exactly it keeps happening. Anything in the code below that sets of a alarm ?? I can't see any 3rd party whatever in there that could cause it. Ill just keep a eye out, but at leaf i can get to it now, and its not a hidden file either. Once again thanks mate.
