Show Sidebar shortcut in Safari

Hello - I've been experiencing some strange bugs since the recent update. The shortcut cmd+shift+L used to show/hide the sidebar is not working unless if I have opened Safari's View menu (the one in the top bar)

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

Hi mirtilla97, 


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. 


We understand that the Show/Hide Sidebar keyboard shortcut in Safari doesn't work correctly and we're happy to help!


If a keyboard shortcut doesn’t work on Mac, follow these steps:


  1. "On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Keyboard.
  2. Click Shortcuts. A yellow warning badge appears next to conflicting keyboard shortcuts. Click the shortcut, then change it. See Use macOS keyboard shortcuts."


The Apple Support resources below can also help.

Best regards.
