I have the same problem as a 2012 Post: "force quit command option esc does not work in snow leopard/High Sierra"

I have had this shortcut issue for a month or so and I saw the same problem in 2012. BDAqua had a couple suggestions but PFlyer11 couldn't get the Force Quit shortcut to work either. I did check the Sys Pref-Keyboard-Shortcut-Keyboard and this shortcut wasn't listed either. I am running High Sierra.

Using the Apple dropdown-Force Quit does work.

Command option esc works for me. Brings up this window…

Also, right clicking on an app's icon in the Dock and pressing option brings up "Force Quit" in this menu…

If we look at the Apple drop down "Force Quit Firefox" above there are 4 keys

But on this website the poster says to use 3 keys but their example shows using the Apple Drop down "Force Quit Chrome with the 4 keys (Added the Shift Key):

I have always used the 3 key method???
