indesign "fit spread in window" keyboard shortcut not working

All of a sudden...with no changes to my system whatsoever, I cannot get the keyboard shortcut of "fit spread into window" to work. I use this shortcut ALL the time so it's a bit maddening.

 

All the other keyboard shortcuts seem to be working. I've tested the different modifier keys with other shortcuts and all is good. 

 

Any solutions?

 

Indesign 15.0.2

Mac OS Catalina (10.15)

Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and make sure it's set up properly. You could experiment with setting up a new Keyboard Shortcut set.

I'm very familiar with setting up keyboard shortcuts, but have never set up a "custom" shortcut for "fit spread in window." I've always (been using ID for 20 years) used the default shortcut and it has always worked...until yesterday when it simply stopped working.

Does this issue happen in just one file or multiple files?

Try settng up a new document with spreads to see if the command works there.

Hope this helps!

It happens with every document I open as well as any new document. There are no exceptions.

I try to find the command for fitting the spread PROPERLY.

At present it is a damned nuisance to have the spread jump all over the place when I go to the next spread.

The command doesn't work on Windows, either. Neither by shortcut, nor by menu entry.

It seems to be just a bug in InDesign that should really be fixed quickly. Maybe a side effect of any other development?
