Hi, I’m using MacOS 12.3.1 and just updated to Anki desktop 2.1.53. Right away I noticed that the keyboard shortcut to add a Cloze deletion card to a note (⌘ ⇧ C) no longer works. Is this a bug / known issue that has already been recorded? Or has the feature changed to a different shortcut? Any workaround? ---

> [@rain\_hard](#): > > Is this a bug / known issue that has already been recorded? Or has the feature changed to a different shortcut? This has been a very long lasting bug for me. It’s definitively not a feature (the shortcut is still supposed to be Ctr-Shift-c). In general, no shortcut that involves Shift works for me. Does any work for you? > [@rain\_hard](#): > > Any workaround? As a workaround, you can the use [Customize Keyboard Shortcut](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/24411424) addon, and change that shortcut to something that works (for me, something without Shift did the trick). ---

Thank you so much for the reply - this is extremely helpful! > This has been a very long lasting bug for me. Have you experienced the same bug using Version ⁨2.1.49? I downgraded back to ⁨2.1.49 yesterday after posting here, and have no problem at all adding Cloze cards with ⌘ ⇧ C. In fact, I’m in the habit of adding 100+ Cloze cards every single day, and have never had any problem with the keyboard shortcut until 2.1.53. > As a workaround, you can the use Customize Keyboard Shortcut addon, and change that shortcut to something that works (for me, something without Shift did the trick). Thanks. I just reinstalled 2.1.53, ran `Check Database`, `Check Media` and `Empty Cards...`, then installed `Customize Keyboard Shortcut`, restarted Anki and… the ⌘ ⇧ C keyboard shortcut was suddenly working! I’m not sure why, but it seems like either reinstalling or one of those other steps made the problem go away. ---

Cmd+shift+c works for me by default. Please make sure you’re holding down the cmd and shift keys before pressing c. ---
