You can customize all Illustrator shortcuts on the Keyboard Shortcuts window (Edit Menu > Keyboard Shortcuts, or Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Alt + K). There, you can change both menu shortcuts and tool shortcuts and even save custom presets.

No, i did not hit Esc, also i reboot my mac once a week,

not that you mention wacom, i disconected and looks like i don't have this problem anymore,

it could be the drive of the wacom table, i'll check if i have an update.

 

thank you for your help, i really appreciate it, i never thoug it could be the wacom


I have left the pen on top or close to my wacom in the past, which caused some bugs here and there with misclicks and eventually caused me to facepalm myself when I figured it out hehe.
