I am trying to assign Shift+Return to a key command, but it only reads Return. So, it tells me “‘Return’ is already in use.”
It is strange, because it DOES read Shift+Return in the Press Key/Search Command, as it says “Key not in use - Shift + Return”
But it will not allow me to add it as a key command. Can anyone see if they can recreate this issue for me and find out if it isn’t just me? I’m on a Mac, btw - Nuendo 14.
Hi,
I think you cannot sign any combination with Return, same as Esc, for example.
I can assign Command+Return; Option+Return, Control+Return, I can even do Command+Shift+Return; and all sorts of combos. But not Shift+Return 
I can also assign Esc by the way.
Is there potentially any other app or MacOS setting that captures the Shift Return before it gets to Cubase?
If my memory is correct, I once had another background app configured to use a key combination that then became unavailable to Cubase, simply because it never made it to Cubase.
I just checked, and Shift+Return seems to be the default Key command for “macro->Extend Selection to Zero” (at least I am sure that I didn’t configure that), so it must be possible generally. I can also reassign that combination to another command without problems (Win11 here though).
So i either is a MacOS thing or at least another app that blocks this combination, as Nico5 suspects…
Hm, I can’t find it anywhere in MacOS Key Commands. What is interesting to me, though, is that when I try to enter it as a key command - it only reads “Return”. So it will tell me that “Return is already used as a key command”, so it isn’t even reading Shift+Return.
Exactly - so something else is intercepting it.
If it’s not MacOS, it could be another application that runs in the background.
I’m not sure if that’s what it means. It is weird that it is reading just Return in that case. I would love for some other people who are using Mac OS to test this out and see if they are getting the same issue.
