If I press f6 The key press event is not being registered inside SC2

Hi there, Strange issue is occurring. I use f5 f6 f7 to jump to pre-determined camera locations. F5 and f7 work great but f6 does not. It just randomly stopped working as I haven’t changed my hotkeys in years.

I have tested that my F6 key does work using online javascript code.

Even when I go into the hotkey menu and try to add f6 to a function, it doesn’t register. Please help, thank you.

Edit
So I use ctrl f6 to set the hotkey, then pressing just f6 doesn’t do anything, I can’t use f6 to set the hotkey on anything either but shift f6 will jump me to the location…

How come just pressing f6 does nothing? I will just deal with having to press shift f6 for now.

Looks like some application you’re running is hijacking the key click.
I was using Overwolf+SpawnBuilder. Sure enough, SpawnBuilder was using the F6 key as a hotkey to pause/play the build guide.
