keyboard shortcuts resetting after each reboot

I have some shortcut in shortcuts app,

In each of them I saved a shortcut key, but after each restart of the computer, the shortcut is there in the application but the shortcut key is reset.

After every reboot I have to reset the keys shortcut and it's exhausting.

any suggestion?

Hi elonhadad,


If your shortcuts aren't working as expected, please start by ensuring they are set up using these steps:


1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click Keyboard  in the sidebar (you may need to scroll down), then click Keyboard Shortcuts on the right.
2. Select App Shortcuts on the left, click the Add button , click the Application pop-up menu, then choose a specific app or All Applications.

For example, to set a shortcut for a TextEdit command, choose TextEdit. If an app isn’t in the list, choose Other, then locate the app using the Open dialog. Some apps may not allow you to set keyboard shortcuts.

If you want to set a shortcut for a menu command that appears in many apps, choose All Applications.

3. In the Menu Title field, type the menu command for which you want to create a shortcut, exactly as the command appears in the app, including the > character (type ->), ellipses (type three periods without spaces or press Option-; (semi-colon)), or other punctuation.

For example, to set a shortcut for the default ligature command in TextEdit (Format > Font > Ligatures > Use Default), you would type Format->Font->Ligatures->Use Default in the Menu Title field. To set a shortcut for the Export as PDF command (File > Export as PDF…), you would type File->Export as PDF… in the field.

4. Click in the Keyboard Shortcut field, press the key combination that you want to use as the keyboard shortcut, then click Done.

For example, press the Control, Option, and Z keys at the same time. You can use a key only once in a key combination." Create keyboard shortcuts for apps on Mac


If the issue continues, contact Apple directly to Get Support. We hope this helps!


Sincerely.
