Summary0017766: Alt+Z shortcut for Preview Mode does not work if an item is selected
DescriptionAlt+Z seems to be the only one that does not work.

I tested others (for Preview Mode), they work.
- Shift+Z (in case it is the two-key combos that have problem) but it works.
- Other three-key combos work too.
Steps To Reproduce1. Set custom keyboard shotcut for Preview Mode to Alt+Z
2. Select a text-frame, and press Alt+Z
3. No change.
4. Deselect the text-frame (no other selections) and it works.
Additional InformationI have not tested if Alt+Z has problem when set for other functions.
TagsNo tags attached.

Please test it also for other commands...

Alt-z works here for "Get vector image".

And it also seems to work for the preview mode, even when a text frame is selected.

Works fine here with Option Z on Mac.

For me, Alt+Z not works for other functions also. I tested Alt+O for open. It does not work when an item is selected. All the other shortcuts (the ones I use) work as intended. Only this Alt+Char does not.

I suspect your OS is capturing it somewhere.
