Shortcuts Not Working?
If shortcuts are not responding, check these common issues:
- Focus is in a text field - Shortcuts are disabled when typing in inputs. Click outside the field or press Esc first.
- Dialog is open - Some shortcuts are disabled when modals are open. Close the dialog first.
- Browser extension conflict - Some extensions capture keyboard shortcuts. Try disabling extensions to identify conflicts.
- Wrong modifier key - Mac uses Cmd, Windows/Linux use Ctrl.
