About Apex SQL Refactor and SSMS keyboard shortcuts being broken

Hi DBA Stack Exchange! Today I tried Apex SQL Refactor and right from the get go, once installed and integrated into my T-SQL dev tool of Choice (SSMS 18.3.1) I noticed that some Keyboard shortcuts stopped working. One example (maybe there are more, but this one I’m pretty sure): After installing and using SQL Refactor for first time (Refactor needs to be used at least once for this to happen) the “Available Databases” functionality in SSMS (which can be invoked by CTRL+U) no longer works. What is worse, this is not a configurable shortcut (like most of the Keyboard shortcuts that can be configured on Tools -> Options -> Keyboard) so once it is broken, the only solution so far (to make it work again) is to uninstall SQL Refactor. This query shortcut (“Available Databases”) is an extremely useful one that people use it over and over again on SQL Sessions, so breaking the shortcut is a major thing for me. enter image description here I’m running the latest available builds of both SSMS (18.3.1) and Apex SQL Refactor (2018.08.0364) **My question is: have you also experienced this? If so, how did you solve the issue of keyboard shortcuts being irreparably lost after Apex SQL Refactor?** If you need me to provide any additional info about my system or logs that could help you reproduce this issue, just let me know. Thanks to all of you!
