Adjust To Grid shortcut

Hi! Anyone knows why Show Grid and Adjust to Grid have the same shortcut (Shift+Command+8)? This shortcut just work showing and hidding the grid. OK for this but I have created a shortcut for Adjust to the Grid and it doesn't work. I mean, is there any way to achieve to adjust to the grid without having to clik on it's button on properties panel? I use this a lot and it's really annoying if I'm working on a zoomed in zone as I have to zoom out for clicking on a free of objects zone so that the properties panel appears and click the button for then zoom in again to continue where I was working... Is this an error of the software itself? I use the Mac version.

on Windows US English setup the default shortcuts are Ctrl+" and Ctrl+Shift+", both shortcuts work as expected

I don't remember seeing "Adjust to Grid", did you mean "Snap To Grid"?

You are referring to the Pixel grid?

Or which grid?

Can you please show the menu with those shortcuts?

Sorry, I mean SNAP TO GRID

As you can see in the attached screenshot there are now two different shortcuts for each action but they doesn´t work. I can show/hide GRID with the shortcut SHIFT+COMMAND+8 (which is not the shortcut) and SHIFT+COMMAND+* which corresponds to SNAP TO GRID... SNAP TO GRID also doesn't work as the shortcut show and hide the grid... What a mess...

Some keys just do not work very well as shortcuts (son't ask why, this has just happened over the years)

On top of that: keys might be taken by other apps or the system on your computer.

And: shortcuts might be affected by corrupt preferences.

 

Do other keys work? What's going on inthe system? Is Google Chrome running on your computer? When was your last system reboot?
