Thanks for the report - I'm unable to reproduce with Atom 1.21.1 in safe mode on macOS 10.12.6.
Can you share a screenshot of what you see with the keyboard resolver active while typing cmd-shift-p?
Hi there, not on my laptop right now, but I did try that earlier.
It seems to never pick up the P, only showing cmd-shift. I guess I must have something that hijacks the key combo?
The odd thing is I run the exact same software on both my laptop and desktop...

Yes when this happens you have some other application running that is responding to the keystroke.
Yeah, shame there's no easy way to tell which one.
I did try with everything but atom quit, including my menubar things, but no dice.
I haven't used it but in another case where a key combo wasn't working, someone in the community mentioned the app they used to track down the culprit:

We'll go ahead and close this for now but if you find there's a problem with Atom, please let us know and we can re-open.
On macOS, I just had the problem today.
It is not related to the atom but to the entire operating system. I can't use cmd + shift + P in all of my apps ... I'm still digging into the global config for this shortcut.
Edit: The problem comes from the Keeper Password manager app which binds this shortcut (for nothing) and there is no way to disable ... Hope this post helps someone in the future
@GreatWizard Thank you so much for this. It was driving me crazy. Btw the latest versions of Keeper let you change the shortcut. Tnx again!
