These 3 keyboard shortcuts have stopped working in Illustrator version 32.0.3 for macOS

Shortcut	macOS key combinations
Switch to Hand tool (when not in text-edit mode)	Spacebar
Switch to Zoom tool in magnify mode	Spacebar + Command
Switch to Zoom tool in reduce mode	Spacebar + Command + Option

Without these shortcuts, my production time has increased tremendously. You can't be a power user without these key commands.

Why have they been removed?

I noticed the exact same problem with Mac Illustrator 2021 and Photoshop. Simply resetting the prefs from the Preferences > General dialog didn't work. I finally understood that I needed to log out of my Adobe account on this page in my browser. I then chose Reset Preferences from the Preferences > General dialog but switched to my brower and logged out of my Adobe account on the page. I then proceeded in Illustrator 21 in going ahead with the prefs reset and that solved the issue. I know not why.

That did it! I closed Illustrator, and logged off my account. This morning, I logged on, launched Illustrator, and the keyboard shortcuts work.

Thank you for the quick response.
