Troubleshooting Shortcut Conflicts on macOS Sonoma

Issue: Users running macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 may experience a conflict with the keyboard shortcut CMD+SHIFT+A, which is used to select all notes on a fretboard. This issue seems to be specific to this version of macOS.

Problem: The CMD+SHIFT+A shortcut is not working as expected, which can be particularly frustrating for users who rely on it frequently, such as in teaching scenarios.

Cause: It appears that a new system shortcut introduced in macOS Sonoma is conflicting with the CMD+SHIFT+A shortcut. This conflict can prevent the shortcut from functioning properly.

Solution: To resolve the conflict, follow these steps to disable the conflicting system shortcut:

1. Go to System Settings.
2. Click on Keyboard.
3. Select Keyboard Shortcuts.
4. Go to Services.
5. Under Text, find the shortcut that’s using CMD+SHIFT+A and disable it.

Additional Information:

• If you are using a different version of macOS, you may not encounter this issue. Testing on various macOS versions could help identify if the problem is isolated to 14.6.1 or affects other versions.
• If you’re unable to find or disable the conflicting shortcut, consider updating to the latest macOS version if possible, or check for any available system updates that might address this issue.
