⌘ + ^ not working as a shortcut for switching between windows of active app

Open wuesten-fuchs opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I tried setting ⌘ + ^ as "shortcut 2" for switching between windows from the active app. The keyboard shortcut is not being used by any other app. But nothing happens when I do the shortcut. When I change it to something else e.g. ⌘ + ⌥ + ö it works.

What macOS version are you using? On macOS Monterey this works fine.

Probably some issue with non-US keyboard? Which keyboard do you use? What's the physical layout? What's the language you set at the software level in macOS?

@Ben9000 any update? Without the info I mentionned above, this ticket is unactionable.

I think I can respond on @Ben9000's behalf, given that his alternative shortcut contains an 'ö' which would suggest that he's from Germany just like me and I have the same issue.

So, ...

  • German QWERTZ keyboard layout (and physical layout would be ISO)
  • German is also the selected system language across the OS
  • macOS Ventura 13.0
  • have tried disabling Karabiner Elements with no luck.
  • same issue regardless of external or built-in Macbook keyboard.

The QWERTZ layout has the key for ^ and ° above the Tab-key. So Option+^ is probably the shortcut @Ben9000 was going for.

Hope that helps. Thank you for your great work. Really love Alttab so far.
