Detaching audio in FCPX 10.4.10

In the drop down menu 'detach audio' is listed as -

^ , and an arrow I can't add here, S

In the FCP help it says -

Option-Command-B

On my iMac running Mojave 10.4.6 neither works and I have to use the drop down menu.

Why is this - perhaps a fault with my machine. What is the correct key combination for this regularly used feature?

I note also that Apple should update their 'help' as several things have been altered now. They owe it to customers who paid for an expensive programme.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.14

That's Shift-Control-S. It works unless the keyboard has been changed or isn't a QWERTY keyboard.

Opt-Shift-B is Balance Color.

Where in Help are you seeing this? Mine doesn't show a keyboard shortcut.

Thanks Tom for the solution. Shift-Control-S is now working if I hold the keys together and wait.

Below is a screen grab before I posted yesterday. It is from the Help drop down in FCP.

Don’t know where that is. It’s not even in the Modify menu. It’s in the Clip menu, but Balance Color is listed there with that shortcut.
