Keyboard Shortcut Overlap Bug Report - MacOS

Anki Help
1

Hi there!
Since the new update on MacOS the shortcut for unordered lists (command + ,) overlaps with the preferences shortcut.

When I want to make an unordered list and I press the shortcut, it opens the preferences window.

I’ve found a similar topic in the forum but it seems it’s an old report and the GitHub issue is closed and resolved. I guess the bug is back in the new version again! It was working fine before the update…

It would be very nice if you could fix this bug; the shortcut was pretty handy!

Hope this report helps!
Thank you for your wonderful app!

There was only one shortcut update that I can see in 24.11, and it wasn’t that. Preferences should still be Cmd P – I’d think.

  • Have you run in safe mode to make sure another add-on isn’t redirecting Preferences?
  • Do you have any external 3rd-party apps running on your Mac that might be changing keybinds/shortcuts?
  • Are you using a keyboard layout other than English/International-QWERTY?

Thank you for your quick response. Somehow the bug resolved itself! I guess it was fixed after I reopened the app. It was a temporary bug apparently!

Thank you for your support.

Hello, this bug still persists!

Since it was resolved for OP, you should definitely –

  1. Try the thing that worked for OP.
  2. Answer all of the other questions I asked OP.
  3. Provide some details about what you’re seeing, what else you’ve tried, and your system (go to Help/Anki > About – click Copy Debug Info – paste that here when you respond).

Hello,

Recently when i want to create a bullet list in the Add card window, sometimes it opens the preference menu, is there any way to prevent this, this is really annoying

If found this issue on github, but it doesn’t seems to solve my issue

Regards,
Alex

Try all of the other things I suggested and answer the other question I asked other users. And then try everything else on the Troubleshooting Checklist – Troubleshooting - Anki Manual .

  • No, i do not use any third party software that has keybindings
  • I already tried to remove all the extensions
  • Did all the checklist

Sometimes it fixes itself by some black magic and it comes back

It’s hard for anyone to find a fix without a reproducible case, so keep watching for it and see if you can discern any patterns to when it happens.
