    ~With the exception of q during startup, and system defaults, none of the QT~ The form interaction keyboard shortcuts don't work on macOS. In case anyone wants to test a fix, here's a list:

    Works:

    • Cmnd + Q (quits application)
    • Cmnd + Shift + C (opens console)
    • Cmnd + Shift + D (opens debug window)
    • CMD + , (opens preferences)

    Cmnd + Shift + C and D aren't annotated next to their menu items like e.g. CmD + , is.

    Doesn't work:

    • regex tr\(\".*&.*\"\) for other shortcuts (menu and QAction)

    There are some complaints on the internet suggesting this is a QT issue, but it's not super clear to me.

    ctrl or cmd?

    Indeed, you should be using CMD ( ⌘) on macOS. The following shortcuts seem to be working as expected (f030410): q to quit during startup CMD + q to quit at any point CMD + Shift + c opens the console CMD + Shift + d opens the debug window CMD + , opens the preferences menu

    Works as expected. macOS always used CMD instead of ctrl and I guess QT is doing it right here. Also, the menu items correctly list ⌘ Q for quit, (etc.). Close?

    Agree with @jonasschnelli. @Sjors If there is a specific CMD shortcut that isn't working, please reopen.

    Ah indeed, CMD + Shift + c and d work, I updated the description.

    None of the one letter shortcuts for menu items and form fields work for me, and they're not displayed so you have to guess them.
