CMD + space not working in the first try I'm having troubles with Spotlight.


Command Space isn't working in the first try, but when I try it again it does work. After few minutes I need to do it twice again for it to pop.
I don't see app result anymore. I tried to add it to the privacy section in the spotlight setting, than remove it so it will be re-indexed. It didn't work.


Somehow I think they tied together. I have the latest OS (macOS High Sierra)

Appreciate the help.

Since I got an answer for the first one, I'll post here the solution for the second one. Just add the whole computer (ShiftCommandC) to the privacy in the spotlight settings - then remove it.
i saw this on a user's machine lately.  it was acting very strangely with a couple command keys.  

the solution here was to go to keyboard preference pane and clear out all shortcuts and restore defaults for each section.  it seems an app this user installed was grabbing the key-combo for its own purposes, and once removing the customizing it worked well.

it might be this simple in your case.
