This works, thanks for the suggestion ! It's just crowding a little more my keyboard shortcuts overrides, but it doesn't really matter ;-).

For the record, I've been running TM2 since about when it became public, and I think I overridden the shortcut mid-2013. I'm pretty sure it was before the 64 bit change, and that my 10.9 update was only 3 weeks ago (most of 2013 was under the 10.8 era, right ?). And I seem to remember that it was working at first but stopped somewhere in between. Dunno if that helps pinpointing anything...
