"Go to previous tab" hotkey (Command+Shift+[) does not work

[tosho]

What I’m trying to do

I want to use a hotkey (Command+Shift+[) to kick “Go to previous tab”, but nothing happens.

Things I have tried

• Assign another hotkey to “Go to previous tab” and found it works
• Try to assign “Command + [” to another hotkey, but the key cannot be assigned (nothing happens when I try to assign the hotkey)
• “Go to next tab” (Command+Shift+]) works
• Command+Shift+[ works in Chrome (go to previous tab)
• I tried to find conflicting hotkeys at the system or application levels but could not find them.

I’d suggest try it in the Sandbox vault, or a new test vault. If it works there, you may have narrowed it down to settings in your vault.

Although since you said you are having trouble even assigning the hotkey, I imagine it is at the application level.

I have completely same problem with my both 2 different Macbooks too.
I tested couple of apps but others don’t have this issue, just Obsidian ignores whatever hotkey that includes Command+[ .

reproduced OS version↓

• Sonoma 14.1.1
• Sonoma 14.5

I fixed it. it’s OS bug where it misunderstand keyboard layout. OS thinks US keyboard a Japanese keyboard.
