I'm running Premiere pro CC 2017 and suddenly Q and W have stopped working, on top of that I cannot select tracks on the left side, source patching, i source patch audio on and off many times while editing, again this is something that worked two days ago now it's broken.

      I found out what my problem was. It was very simple, I didn't have the track selected, so I just had to select "V1" and make it go from gray to blue and it started working again lol

            I hesitate to state the obvious, but do you have a clip loaded in the source monitor? If you don't, then you have no tracks to patch and hence they won't appear.

            Assuming that you do have a clip loaded, and no patching blocks are visible...what happens if you perform an insert/overwrite edit?

              one update: source patching magically reappeared suddenly, and literally, while I wasn't looking... the V1 and A1 reappeared. I think i opened different sequence and when I closed it the ability to source patch came back... that's odd, don't know why Adobe programed their software to do that.

              Also, i looks as though while the W still does nothing, zooming in far enough revels the Q shortcut to be ripple deleting one frame at a time from the right side of the playhead, so that's like 4 times as bad as if it just did nothing.

              The keyboard preferences have not been changed.

                just reset the preferences, still nothing changed. 


                it sounds wired...I used the Q & W shortcuts in Premiere Pro CC 2019 v. 13.0.2 in mac os x 10.14.3 and it works perfectly fine for me.
