PaoloT Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Hi, I use a custom keyboard layout on my Mac, with letter Z where there a W in an US keyboard; and letter W where there is Z. When assigning a keyboard shortcut, I can see the letter I typed. If I type W according to my layout, I can see W in the shortcut box. This doesn't translate to actual use. The chosen letter seems to be hardwired. If I type Ctrl-W, I don't get the expected command. If I type Ctrl-Z, it is as if I had chosen the Ctrl-W shortcut.

thomaso Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Could it be your keyboard language got set from QWERTY to AZERTY? (could be the case for French as example) Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are right, I tried with one of the standard non-QWERTY layouts supplied by Apple, and it indeed works. I don't know why my layout is not working. I've not edited it for years, so I must remember what I did. If you are interested to see it, here is it, in both the Unicode and Roman scripts.
