Failed to create Burp: project: Duplicate key ... ERROR (Ambiguous hotkey definition is possible, for CTR+SHIFT+LEFT/RIGHT)

Dear Developers, I'm really pleased with the Burp Suite Pro, but today I defined some new Hotkeys and Burp allowed me to do this for Ctrl+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Shift+Right even when THESE KEYSTROKES WAS ALREADY DEFINED. was already defined. My new hotkeys worked, and I quit form Burp. But now I cannot start even a new temporary project without any loaded setting, as I always get the following error: "An error occurred when starting a project with selected options. Failed to create Burp: project: Duplicate key shift ctrl pressed KP_LEFT(attempted merging values burp.Zie2@xxxxxxxx and burp.Zie2@yyyyyyyy)" I use Burp Suite Professional v2023.5.3. Can you help me to solve this issue? Regards, Zoltan

Hi We have had a similar case this morning. It seems that the hotkeys are causing this issue. It should resolve the issue if you go into your UserConfigPro.json and delete the new hotkeys you defined.

Hi, Thank you, this solved the problem. May I recommend, in addition to addressing the potential of duplicate hotkeys, to put a reference to the config file that prevented Burp from launching in the error message for simpler troubleshooting? Regards, Zoltan
