MacOS – Can’t use ⌃⌘Space for Evernote Helper as shortcut is already in use

Many applications like Terminal also have a menu item like Window > Cycle Through Windows. It stays assigned to ⌘` even if you change the shortcut in the Keyboard & Text Input preferences.

You could add a custom shortcut for Cycle Through Windows in the Application Shortcuts preferences, or disable it with defaults write -g NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Cycle Through Windows" nul.

You could also force TotalTerminal to use ⌘` by editing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist directly.

Creator of Divvy here. I'm not sure why Divvy can't record this shortcut in the UI, but you can force Divvy to use this shortcut:

1. Quit Divvy.
2. Launch Terminal.app and paste this command, on one line, and press enter:
   defaults write com.mizage.direct.Divvy globalHotkey -dict keyCode 49 modifiers 4352
3. Also, paste this command, on one line, and press enter:
   defaults write com.mizage.Divvy globalHotkey -dict keyCode 49 modifiers 4352
4. Restart Divvy.

There's no risk to running these commands, you can always change the shortcut again in the UI. Hopefully I can update the recorder to properly capture these shortcuts in the future.
