My shortcut does nothing
Another program probably took it before Diktun. The test says so.
Open the settings, General tab, and use the shortcut test button. If it does not see your keys, they are not reaching Diktun.
The most common cause is another dictation or capture tool installed on the same machine: two programs that install a keyboard hook fight over the same chain, and the first one in wins. Quit the other, then try again.
On Mac some combinations are reserved by the system. Ctrl + Cmd + Space opens the emoji viewer, for instance, and that is not negotiable: you have to pick other keys.
As a last resort, pick an unusual combination and test it.
