This sounds like it could be a keyboard layout issue. For some shortcuts, you’ll need use the keys you would press on a standard English layout, even if those keys do something else on your layout.

Other ideas I’ve tried on another layout – [Inconsistent keyboard shortcuts on Turkish-Q layout](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/inconsistent-keyboard-shortcuts-on-turkish-q-layout/38850) .

The hover text doesn’t change based on your keyboard layout.
