Hi @MuhammedNihad, thanks for the report. This could be due to several reasons, but I've added console debug logs that should help pinpoint what's going on.

Could you open the Developer Console and check what's being logged when you try these shortcuts? You can open it by:

  • Going to ViewToggle Developer Tools (or press Cmd+Option+I)
  • Click on the Console tab

The console logs will show which shortcuts are being triggered (or if they're being blocked). You should see logs that start with "Tauri shortcut ev" when you press the keyboard combinations.

Hey @CuriousCorrelation
Nothing is being logged in console upon pressing those shortcuts!

BTW, I could find only 'Toggle Fullscreen' in the View, as well as the 'Help' is not rendering any options at all.

Thanks @jamesgeorge007 and @CuriousCorrelation really appreciate the work💚.

However, I feel the MRU tab switching isn’t very seamless yet. The current key combinations(cmd+option+[ and cmd+option+]) are kind of difficult for me personally.

It would be great if Ctrl + Tab itself could be implemented, with a small popup/switcher that lists all available tabs, similar to what VS Code or Firefox behaves.

I understand there may be limitations, but yeah just sharing the thought.
