I can no longer cycle through open documents.

I used to be able to cycle through open documents by pressing Command + ~, but it no longer works. The new shortcut is Command + F6, but that doesn't work either.

 

My F shortcuts are on in my Apple system prefs. Pressing F6 opens dictation. Does anybody know why or face a similar issue?

 

Using the menu dropdown isn't very pleasant when you have 20+ files to sort through.

 

Thanks,

Will

I found it completely by accident...

 

Command + Fn + ~ to cycle forward.

Command + Shift + Fn + ~ to cycle backwards.

 

It doesn't correspond with any of the documentation Adobe or Apple have, but I'll take it.

you could disable the dictation shortcut in the system.

I disabled dictation and changed the function to another key for good measure, but it still doesn't work.

 

I use a Macbook attached to an external monitor and an extended Mac keyboard. Pressing F6 show/hides the colour palette on both keyboards. Shift + F6 show/hides the appearance panel. Fn + F6 is the same.

 

Pressing Command+ ~ still does nothing. I have no idea what's changed.

 

It seems trivial, but it's a big part of my workflow.

 

Do you think this is an Apple issue?
