Hello, Using Anki ⁨2.1.54 on MacOS 13.2.1 and all of the keyboard shortcuts grayed out. Any ideas on how to fix this. Thanks. ---

Isn’t that normal behavior on MacOS? Even on safari is like that ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/3/35d9dc9ccb109f0dc46608d10b93a2da8b28f1f5.png) another example with Brave browser ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/c/cb5f869681682f3187f83ab6ec6a76e3832f0c3c.jpeg) Mine is like that too (prob more gray-ish because i’m on dark mode in macOS) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/a/a7a2214de1333bb94077ff64fb94b05bd6c48e80.jpeg) The thing is, can you use the shortcuts? Are they running fine? if it isn’t, could you see if the [latest version](https://github.com/ankitects/anki/releases) fix it ---

If I type the key combination for delete while highlighting a note, it does not delete the note. I’m just trying to be more efficient using the app. ---

I’m in browse. I highlight a note in a deck that I want to delete. The keyboard shortcut for delete (command delete) does not work and I need to use the pulldown menu, which is slow and inefficient. ---

The shortcut is cmd+forward delete, which may be cmd+fn+delete on your keyboard. ---

might need to change or add `cmd+fn+delete` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/0/05a0ea336e78f8dea2f9100cbcec490d282ea2ba.png) The del symbol won’t be present in upcoming macOS versions, so users attempting to use the shortcut “cmd + del” won’t be successful. This thread highlights potential problems that more recent Macbooks (m1/m2) will experience in the future when using outdated keyboard shortcuts. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/b/b8e9132f68799a6c7f50d954d720e6b830a26aae.jpeg) M2 pro keyboard ---

I don’t think we can represent Fn in the menubar with Qt. ---
