Hi @BrahmanandaRao,

 

I see two possible reasons:

  1. The shortcut has been removed or assigned to a different command.
  2. A different software uses the same shortcut.

In the first case you can just reassign it in Tools --> Options --> Enhanced Editor Keys: Select "Selection Operations" from the drop-down list under "Category," then "Convert the selected text to lowercase" under "Commands" and press the "Assign keys..." button. Once you press Ctrl+Shift+L (with the cursor in the field under "Press new shortcut key"), a different command assigned to the shortcut will be displayed, if any, and you can decide to overwrite it.

 

In the second case I would try to modify the shortcut in the other software.

What software are you using? I think the shortcut you mention is for Enterprise Guide.

Well, that depends on the other software. For example, I use a screen capture utility and if I chose to set, say, Ctrl+F2 as the keyboard shortcut for taking a screen capture with that software, this key combination would no longer work in the Enhanced Editor, although it's still assigned to the command "Toggle marker on the current line." From within SAS there would be no (easy) way to find out why it stopped working.
