Thank you. Ctrl-M did not work either.

See this thread for two other users who report that they also can not configure message_silently to work: https://www.reddit.com/r/Telegram/comments/fci2in/psa_you_can_make_shortcuts_for_silent_and/

maybe its something Qt-related. for me "ctrl+s" is working for "message_silently", "ctrl+shift+enter" is not working for "message_silently"
