Shortcut to hide cell in macOS broken in Safari

[asbisen]

Describe the bug

The keyboard shortcut to hide a code cell in macOS is Cmd + H which also happens to be the global shortcut to hide the current active window. And since global shortcut's take precedence using it ends up hiding the window instead of hiding the cell.

What browser are you using?

It seems that Chrome respects the shortcuts, while Safari does not

You are right, I checked again with FireFox and Safari. Safari does not respect the shortcut while FireFox does.

[mscolnick]

Is it an ok workaround to use FireFox? I don't see a way around it for Safari without changing the key.

We can do this but is breaking (so need to think through that). If you turn the URL into an application - new Safari lets you put sites in the dock - then the hotkey does work.

Personally for me it's an ok workaround, and I can live with that. For a wider audience down the road this might end up being an irritant underutilized capability for people using macOS + Safari.

^Agreed. We will look into a long-term fix
