macOS: Ctrl shortcuts not working in browsers
Hi, I recently contacted Google One Support regarding an issue with keyboard shortcuts, but they advised me to contact Apple instead.
Here is a brief summary of what happened:
- I was trying to use shortcuts like Ctrl + C + T or Ctrl + C + F in my browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) while using Google Drive.
- I expected these shortcuts to create a new file or perform some action, but nothing happened.
- Google Support informed me that this might be related to Mac keyboard or system behaviour and suggested I contact Apple Support.
I’m a bit confused about whether this is:
- a macOS keyboard shortcut issue,
- a browser limitation,
- or simply that these shortcuts are not valid.
Could you please help clarify:
- Are Ctrl-based shortcuts like these supported on macOS?
- Could there be any keyboard settings affecting this?
- Or are these shortcuts simply not recognised by the system or browser?
Thank you very much for your help!
