Not Confirmed

2lilaboc what do you expect Shift+F6 to do? (by default it is for inline renaming).

[Dalai]

Two culprits come to mind:

• A keyboard whose F keys can be switched to a different mode instead of their usual F key presses. Such keyboards have a key, e.g. Fn, to toggle between these modes.
• Some background software registered specific hotkeys globally. nVidia GeForce Experience is notorious for this, although not F6 but rather F7 IIRC.

You can use hotkey detective to find out whether any program has registered Shift+F6 for itself system-wide:

Culprits found, turns out it's Microsoft Pinyin IME shipped with windows captured shift+f6. hotkey-detective seems not able to capture this

I found the result from here:

Thanks guys for helping!

The problem does exist, just switching to Microsoft Pinyin IME makes Shift+F6 not work, and it seems that other software has the same problem. According to the Windows built-in "Feedback Hub" App, Microsoft has solved this problem, but just for Canary Channel...

This is the Feedback Hub topic:
