Question

Ripple delete shortcut sets off Win 10 system sound

I think this has only been an issue since the upgrade to Premiere CC 2017 this week, but every time I ripple delete with the shortcut (alt + backspace) I hear the Windows 10 "Default Beep" system sound. Ripple deleting through both the right-click context menu and the edit menu both work as expected, though.

If I remember correctly, previously this would only occur if you tried to ripple delete but didn't have anything selected, or it was unable to fully complete the request because other items in your timeline were obstructing the ripple. If I had to guess, this is probably now happening since Win 10 is trying to access the program menus as an alt + key shortcut, and Premiere just isn't telling it that this is supposed to be a panel-specific shortcut?

It appears that shift + delete does work as intended, so I'll switch over to that for the time being, and I could probably just rebind the shortcut if it didn't, but I thought I would run this by the forums since it's a bit of a quality-of-life bug if your workflow relies heavily on that shortcut.

(here's a quick video just to further illustrate the problem, if at all necessary)

I had the same issue, the answer in this thread solved it for me: Using alt key modifier on Win10 causes OS sound
