      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.

                "again this is something that worked two days ago now it's broken." Did you update the OS or GPU drivers, If yes then the update might be causing the issue with Premiere Pro, I would suggest you use updated premiere pro version 13.0.3. which is Premiere Pro CC 2019

                However, you can try resetting the preferences of the Premiere Pro CC 2017

                Here is how you can reset the preferences: -

                Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while launching Premiere Pro. You can release the Alt key or Option key when the splash screen appears.
