I used Command-Control-2 in the Finder on my MacBook Pro. It changed the file folders on my desktop in a way that I can't be sure of. I had previously used this command to access the Reading List while in Safari. What I want to know is what might have been done to my desktop folders. There are less of them. Maybe they have been combined?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.2
If you press ctrl+cmd+2 with a current Finder Window, it will change the grouping to kind and if by example, I am in the Pictures folder in Icon view, that keyboard shortcut will change the view to a row of Folders, then a Developer cateogry with SVG documents, then another row of Documents (typically .eps).
Entering a ctrl+cmd+1 switches the view to one where grouping is by Name which may undo the effect caused by the first keyboard shortcut. When you look at the Group menu in a Finder window, it would appear that None is 0, Name is 1, Kind is 2, and so on for their role in ctrl+cmd+number.
Always make certain that you have pointer focus in the application where you want to invoke the keyboard shortcut.

In MacBook Pro Finder, what is Command-Control-2?
