cant use some hotkeys? Like Alt + R
So for some reason i cant use alt + r to use red wires, alt + g works fine. Also, I cant open the item-pedia thing using alt + left click when hovering above an item (my friend says this should open a page that shows info about the item).

What's up with this? Could it be some application on my pc that is blocking some hotkeys? I uninstalled nvidia experience because it has some hotkeys... didnt solve it though, tried reinstalling keyboard drivers and checking running apps. I have very few running apps tho, this has me stumped.

Solved it: It was "AMD Software Adrenaline Edition" that stopped this hotkey from working. Also the factoripedia is alt + left click and it also works now.

Use the Settings -> Control menu to bind the red wire to some other key combination. Though with so many things going on it might be hard to actually find an open one not stolen by the OS or some other app.

For me it was Nvidia Performance overlay. I changed its hot key and now I get my red wires.
