Glad to hear you got it working.

I did check the System Prefs, but didn't think to do the most basic of 
tests - what you suggested, shutting off Quicksilver to see if I could 
still assign the shortcut.

Turns out, Quicksilver was the problem. Once it was off, I was able to 
assign the shortcut. And after turning QS back on, everything's working 
like a peach.

Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure how to answer this, because on my 10.8.2 machine, I can assign that combo without any troubles. I'd suggest running Moom without Quicksilver or any other helper-type app running, and see if it works then. Also check the Keyboard System Preferences panel to make sure you didn't assign it there.

Any ideas as to why I might be unable to use Control+Option+Command+Up 
Arrow as a shortcut? I'm a three-finger salute kind of guy, and I've had no 
problems creating shortcuts in Moom using the other arrows.

I can create a shortcut using other combinations. For example, these all 
work:

Control+Option+Up Arrow
Option+Command+Up Arrow
Control+Command+Up Arrow

Just can't seem to use all three and the Up Arrow for some reason.

I'm running 10.8.2, and also have Quicksilver (ß71) running. I've got a lot 
of shortcuts in Quicksilver as well, but there's no other action using the 
Control+Option+Command+Up Arrow combination that I can see.

I haven't seen this shortcut used or documented anywhere else, but perhaps 
some other app or the OS has it reserved for something? Would appreciate 
any advice or thoughts.

Thanks!
