Sidebar ChatBot shortcut stopped working after resetting PC
I've been extensively relying on the `Ctrl+Alt+X` shortcut to spin up the selected chatbot in the sidebar, but ever since I reset my pc (complete reset, cloud download of windows, clear all apps and files) and re-installed firefox, the keyboard shortcut isn't working for me anymore.
I installed firefox with chocolatey, upon noticing that the shortcut had stopped working, I tried to downgrade to v145, which didn't help either. So an uninstall and re-install later (this time manually downloading the installer exe), `Ctrl+Alt+X` still doesn't work. Although hovering over the chatbot's icon in the sidebar shows the shortcut in the tooltip.
More info: `choco uninstall firefox` created a backup of "Old Firefox Data" or something similar, could that have somehow persisted the malfunction across installs?
Any help would be appreciated! System: Windows 10 Pro Firefox: 146

This issue may be due to the keyboard layout as described in bug 1953245. Are you able to change the keyboard layout to US as a test?

Thank you @TyDraniu I had set keyboard layout set to EN-US previously, but switching to english-indonesia (?) solved the problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
EDIT: Correction: I had the language set to English but the layout wasn't EN-US, having selected EN-US as the keyboard layout, ctrl+alt+x works fine. Thanks for your help!

This usually isn’t caused by the “Old Firefox Data” folder. After a full PC reset, the shortcut is most often blocked by Windows or another app that uses Ctrl + Alt shortcuts. Things like screen recorders, PowerToys, GPU overlays, or keyboard tools can steal it.
