If you quit BTT, does the ctrl+2 shortcut then switch to space 2?
No. I forgot to mention that's why I think this a generic Apple bug.
I had previously disabled BTT, but I just exited and ^2 still does nothing (doesn't go to Desktop 1 like I said before... I might have been wrong or that might have been some temporary thing).
Possibly try to delete this file and restart your system:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
To delete it you can use this terminal command:
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist
I'm not sure whether that will help, but that's the file were all hotkeys from System Settings => Keyboard => Shortcuts are stored. It automatically gets regenerated when restarting.
DUDE! That did it! You ever come to the Bay Area I will buy you a beer! THANK YOU.
such a weird bug!
Agreed! And I've seen some weird ones!! Haha.
