ZEN-1740 Keyboard Shortcut resets to default after relaunch

[bmdev88]

same issue here - and it is even more worse as we do not have the correct key mapping on MacOSX again - what is "Meta" on Mac Keyboard?

[Kuttesch]

I have the same problem on Windows 11 23H2 , but I also can't change the default shortcuts / they don't work after changing them to something other than the default.

[Highlander214]

Same is occurring on Windows 10 22H2, they reset on relaunch.

Also happening for me after updating to 1.0.1-a.5

[sjclayton]

Experiencing this on 1.0.1-a.5 on Linux as well, no modifications to any shortcuts are persisting between launches.

[Tim-OuY]

Shortcuts is a disaster, to be honest.

[doubleOZ]

same here. deleted and made a new profile, issue persists but ctrl + seems to work now.

[huynguyentan-eh]

Same here, after customizing the keybindings, everything works fine for a while then suddenly they are all reset to default keybindings without any notice :|

[mauro-balades]

do they update once you reload the preferences page? You also need to press "esc" to save them

[huynguyentan-eh]

Yes, I did press ESC after changing each shortcut and can use it "for a while" (like switching workspaces, and use normally) then suddenly they all comeback to default

[paulwyszynski]

Same issue on Macbook M1. Shortcuts are reset to default.

[sjclayton]

You also need to press "esc" to save them

@mauro-balades

Doesn't matter if you press ESC to save them, they don't end up getting saved... restart Zen and they are all gone again.

I've done this 5-10 times now on both Linux and Windows, same result every time.

did esc to save, & reloading the preferences page doesn't reset, relaunching the app reset shortcuts

Same here, at first it worked on one PC (Windows 10) but not on the other (Windows 11). After a restart of both PCs it shortly worked on the second one, but now it does not work on either.

[kwinso]

Same here on my linux machine (Fedora 40 Gnome)

[fanesz]

same here, also when i try to change the "New Tab" shortcut to ctrl + n, it always create a new window.
But when I change to other shortcut (for example ctrl + t), it work perfectly.

[JonnyLoughlin]

It seems to happen whenever a new Zen window is launched.

1. Change shortcut and test to see that the new one works after hitting esc.
2. Open up new window, (regular or private)
3. Refresh the shortcut page

Shortcuts are then reset to default

Linux 6.10.10-arch1-1 x86_64
Mozilla Zen 1.0.1-a.5

[diego-velez]

I'm having the same issue, I changed the keymap and saved with esc, put after relaunch they reset to default. Previously, they worked fine, but after an update they got reset, and they keep resetting. This is happening on Linux.

[mauro-balades]

Update: this will be fixed on the next release, thanks

[hjasond]

Thank you @mauro-balades! Can you confirm if this also fixes the macOS cmd key being mapped to a "meta" key in the shortcuts settings as well?

[paulwyszynski]

@mauro-balades cmd+q for close and cmd + ; for settings are also not working. Would be nice to fix too 🙂

Check which version you're on, This issue was solved on last update, It's works now

[paulwyszynski]

I'm on Alpha build - 1.0.1-a.5. After restarting Zen it works again. Thx.

[nocanoa]

Can i close?

[paulwyszynski]

A wait, actually after remapping some other shortcuts, it stopped working for me...

Keymaps are being cleared whenever a new Zen window opens, could be the issue. A fix is in the next patch.

[d-kja]

I'm still having the same problem on win 11 with the latest version, it keeps resetting after relaunch

[paulwyszynski]

I guess we have to wait for the new release.

I am having the same issues meantioned here. I miss a lot of the 'old' shortcuts as well like switching workspaces and jumping back and forth in tabs. anyone else is missing them? I miss them on all my machines.

I'd also like to add the 'Open Settings' shortcut back.

In my case the problem mysteriously went away after a few browser restarts, a few Windows restarts and some try's of setting the shortcuts.

[cmcallister]

I'm on macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 and am having trouble regardless of restart or not. Setting Toggle Floating Toolbar/Sidebar/Compact Mode simply does not seem take effect; same for Toggle Split View Horizontal/Vertical/'Grid as well as Close Split View.

[mauro-balades]

This has been fixed, thanks a lot!

Exact same issue - but on Sequoia 15.0.1 and Zen 1.0.1-a.7
