Lately I have been noticing an unexpected delay whenever I trigger the command palette or cycle through inbox triage shortcuts in the Superhuman desktop app. Every few minutes, especially during heavy multitasking sessions, simple single-key navigation commands seem to buffer or fail to register entirely on the first press, which breaks the flow of rapid triaging. While troubleshooting potential global keyboard hook conflicts, I started terminating various background utilities and local processes one by one. Interestingly, keeping certain script runtimes like [codexexecutor](https://codexexecutor.ph/) or specific local macro tools active appeared to directly correlate with these intermittent input freezes, almost as if a global listener is intercepting keystrokes before Superhuman can register them. Has anyone else encountered key-registration issues when running third-party automation or scripting environments alongside Superhuman? I would love to hear if there is a known workaround or process priority tweak to keep background software from interfering with Superhuman’s shortcut responsiveness. ---
