Question

Safari 9 favourite shortcuts inexplicably changed

For some unbelievable reason after 10 years + of Safari they have changed the shortcut keys for accessing the fist 9 bookmarks on you favourites bar.

It used to be a 1 hand operation, just hold command with your thumb and tap the number key of the favourite you want to load. Now it's Option+Command and the number (a 2 handed operation).

Is apple being run by idiots now?

May be one of them will be kind enough to explain why they've done this?

MacPro G5, MacBook Pro 15, iPone 5S-OTHER, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Go to "Preferences" inside Safari, select "Tabs" and then just disable Use "⌘-1 through ⌘-9 to switch tabs". This will bring you back ⌘-# for bookmarks 😉
