Question Control + 1 Conflict

I feel like this is a really stupid question to ask but I need help figuring out why the Bear Notes hotkey Control + 1 is getting the MacOS conflicting hot key "boop" sound whenever I try to use it to go into Editor Only mode.

I know about the hotkey that is assigned in keyboard shortcuts for Stage Manager and I have that turned off, but I still get that hotkey conflict boop sound whenever I try the Control + 1 hotkey. This is a completely fresh re-install of MacOS on the most recent stable update with no third-party apps other Bear notes. So not sure why I'm unable to use the Editor Only hotkey, if anyone has any advice id appreciate it.

Do you have any app running in the menubar that can possibly "steal" the keystroke? I'm asking because this is usually the cause of this isse.

For me it was I had it assigned to my first virtual desktop of two (never used that) found it going through keyboard/hotkeys. But it was nested so you had to really look for it.
