Mac keyboard shortcut for Alt+4 now resolving to ¢ I am not sure how to google for this problem.

I recently upgrade OS:X and had a crash and I lost the ability to do my alt4 shortcut to move spaces. I instead get the ¢ character.

My shortcut setting is set in preferences:



I am not sure where to override the (new) keyboard shortcut for the ¢ key. The other shortcuts for spaces work (ie switching to desktop 1-3).

This was working prior to a system crash.

I have re-added my keyboard that I am using, which does not fix the problem. I have the same problem on my built-in keyboard as well as my USB keyboard.
I used Karabiner and added a custom shortcut:

&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;
&lt;root&gt;
  &lt;item&gt;
    &lt;name&gt;Override alt4&lt;/name&gt;
    &lt;identifier&gt;private.always_send_four&lt;/identifier&gt;
    &lt;autogen&gt;__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::4, ModifierFlag::OPTION_L, KeyCode::4, ModifierFlag::CONTROL_R&lt;/autogen&gt;
  &lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/root&gt;


I then bound my actual spaces shortcut to Control4.
