Sorry for the month delay. I was never able to reproduce this. Do you still have this issue?

I did try on two different computers back then before reporting the bug, to be sure it was not a glitch, and I could

It looks like it's working now but, wait, if you haven't changed anything on that part, maybe I was wrong in suggesting it's just the resetting that is not applied, maybe it's more subtle than that

(...more tests...)

Ok I got it, I could have it fail again to apply the reset. It fails when before/after reset shortcuts overlap. It goes like this:

  • On my laptop I wanted to have thirds (columns) on "command option left", "command option up", "command option right" to be first third, second third, and third third ; and something on "command option down" too
  • Then I am not satisfied with my changes, so at some point I hit "reset to default" "rectangle" and hope to have back the original behavior
  • And then it doesn't work, the changes are not applied for the "command option < arrow >" shortcuts

And I think it's because you set them one by one, hence generating potential conflicts as the reset is partially applied

(...thoughts...)

I think this app is really useful and I do like perfection so that's why I reported the bug. But to be honest, if I'm the only one affected, then I already know how to avoid it, plus I will probably never use that reset button in the future. So you'll decide if it's worth fixing

Thank you anyway for the magnificent app!
