They greyed out field is normal.
Have you tried clicking the Press shortcut field and pressing a key command to see if it appears in the field?
Ah! I have to press the grey “Press shortcut” button (which gives no indication it has been pressed) and then I can type the key command. With shame I say I have been caught by this (greyed-out == active) in Dorico before. As someone who designed UI for 35 years, I find this grates against my instincts. Thanks for the tip!
“Press shortcut” is not a button – it’s an edit field with a hint, which properly appears grayed out. You have to click into the field, at which point it gets a blue outline, to indicate that it has focus. And then you can press the desired shortcut key.
Sometimes consulting the Manual can be helpful.
If The Manual were sufficient, this forum would not exist.
