[bug report] Mac app using Windows keys

[Thijs. 0]

Since yesterday's update, when editing my notes, the Mac app interprets my keypresses like a Windows app would. For instance, when pressing Ctrl+A on a Mac, the previous (correct) behaviour is to move the cursor to the beginning of the line. But now it instead selects the entire note (which on a Mac is done with Cmd+A).

Hi.  Maybe the shortcuts were reset?  This may help... Customize keyboard shortcuts

No, it is no reset. Something is wrong with the shortcuts on the Mac. In the shortcuts help, none of the documented shortcuts show a use of the „ctrl“ key, not in any of the documented combinations. It is all cmd, opt and shift.

I can confirm that ctrl-A does the same as cmd-A, which is not the correct behavior on the Mac.

But it is not that simple: Tried with cmd-U (toggle format between underline and plain text), which does the expected, and ctrl-U. Ctrl-U cycles through 3 steps: Underline the selected text, select the text (blue selection highlighter) and show plain text, without selection or underline.

Conclusion: Something is broken with shortcuts on the Mac 10.21.
