Custom keyboard shortcuts don't work all the time
Hi,
I’m calling for a bit of help because I encounter some troubleshooting with my personalized keyboard shortcuts on macOS, specifically on the Reminders app.
I’ve created some keys combinations to activate more easily the sorting out by date and have a quicker access to the informations on each reminder, but those combinations don’t work very well all the time.
I’ve tried to write them into the Keyboard Shortcuts page in the System Settings app with their menu path like « Menu function->Secondary Function->Function that I’d like to use with a shortcut », but this doesn’t solve the problem on Reminders. My custom shortcut only work if I first open a menu’s tab on the top screen (no matter which tab). For instance, I can click on the File tab, then click back somewhere else to close this tab and, from then, I’ll be able to use my shortcut combination to run the specific function I want from somewhere else in the app, naming the sorting function.
Intriguingly, this doesn’t occur in the Finder where I’ve also created a specific shortcut only to access a certain folder. I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that, at least in the French version of macOS, some functions can be called by different paths depending from where you show them in the app? E.g the « None » option for due dates, that appears whether under the path « Due Date > None » or under the path of « Edition > Mark due date as > None ».
I wanted to post here a short video capture of my screen, but I don’t know how to post it on this Forum (it seems that only images car be posted).
Anyway, thanks for your help!
PS: Forgive my English, it's not perfect! (but it could be worse: I could have spoke with my French accent!)
