Can't hide the Mail app

Cmd-H does not hide the Mail app. Anyone else having this problem?

Reset your SMC and your NVRAM:

Sometimes changes are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for the keyboard) become manipulated, technically. So, reset both on your Mac.


The keyboard keys just may not be working as they should. And resetting both should fix that.

"Actually, I guess I never had to do the SMC reset process. Just the first 3 steps in the instructions for computers with the T2 chip were necessary."

You are welcome. Interesting to know about only the first three steps working - But, it is, after all Power Issue. And that is what resetting the SMC is all about - so it makes sense.
