Can't map shift+cmd+m shortcut on macOS, or search for that hotkey

Yeah, it’s fine for me as well. (macOS 14.4.1, Obsidian 1.5.12 / Obsidian Installer 1.5.8)

Have you tried in the Sandbox vault (F1 / Help → Sandbox vault) or a different vault?

If the hotkey works in the Sandbox vault, you know it’s something particular about that vault and you can move on to the troubleshooting steps.


If it’s not working in the Sandbox vault as well, it’s most likely something about your OS user account. You could:

  • Recheck the macOS keyboard shortcut settings and reboot the mac after changes.
  • As a test, you can create another user in macOS and try Obsidian in that account.
  • Search the web for “remove keyboard shortcut macOS”, “remove keyboard shortcut added by an app”, and similar.
