Shortcuts not working on macOS

It seems like the shortcuts in the "Advanced" options panel don't work for me on Zotero 8.0.1, macOS Tahoe 26.2 on an M4 Max. For instance, if I Cmd+Shift+L or Cmd+Shift+K, nothing happens.

I haven't changed any settings, and these shortcuts work fine in other apps (I'm quite sure there's nothing else taking priority over the key mapping). Any idea what the issue could be, or what I can do to further troubleshoot?

Restart in Troubleshooting Mode (Help → "Restart in Troubleshooting Mode…”), which temporarily disables all plugins. If that fixes it, you'll need to identify the plugin that's causing it and then report the problem to the plugin's developer. If not, provide a Debug ID for an attempt that doesn’t work.

Thanks! I started in Troubleshooting Mode, restarted with logging, then only did Cmd+Shift+L and Cmd+Shift+K to test, and nothing happened. Here is the Debug ID: D817623560

I've also tried closing all other running apps, with no effect.

Aha, the shortcuts are not meant to work in the PDF view? They seem to work as long as I have the "My Library" tab open.

Is there a shortcut to move to the Library tab?

Seems to be resolved otherwise, thank you!

Cmd+1 works!
