Superscript- keyboard shortcut doesn't work...

I've had this problem with MacBook Pro (even my previous one, and across multiple OS versions) + Pages and trying to do superscript from keybaord shortcut (which is suppose to be shift+command+"+"). Subscript shortcut works fine - But the Superscript shortcut just increases the font size.


I seem to remember that a few updates back, for a short time, the Superscript keyboard shortcut actually worked correctly.... until the next app (or OS?) update when it was broken again... I'm really pretty frustrated...

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

"(which is suppose to be shift+command+"+"). Subscript shortcut works fine - But the Superscript shortcut just increases the font size. "


According to the list in Pages help, the superscript and subscript shortcuts are:


shift-control-command-+ for superscript

        control-command- - for subscript


command- (plus sign) and

command- (minus sign)

increase or decrease the font size

In Pages v11, the superscript and subscript shortcuts are ⌃⌘+ and ⌃⌘- respectively. And yes, the former incorrectly zooms the page and does not produce a superscript as it should. The baseline's superscript menu entry still produces a superscript result.


You can file a bug report with the Pages product team from the Provide Pages Feedback menu item in the Application menu.
