Apple doesn’t seem able or willing (I don’t know) how to fix the issue with command shift 1 so I may have to choose a new keyboard shortcut but here is the left hand of the keyboard (the right hand is used for mousing usually)
§1234
qwer
asdf
`zxcv
the ones which are not used with command-shift (all are used as command only) in most apps are:
§12
ex
§ is only on the top left on UK keyboards so that is out.
This leaves 1,2, x and e which are:
command! (which is the problem one of course)
command@ (which has the email connotation )
commandX (which is close to cut and a bit tricky to reach but our best second choice)
commandE (used in photoshop and final cut)
Any comments/thoughts?
