On Safari 17 (mac OS Sonoma) the Command–Grave accent (⌘+`) is not switching between Safari windows. It works fine on every other app, except for Safari. I've tested on two different Macs and I see the same behaviour. It even works if I'm on the Safari Settings window, onto a browser window, but then it gets stuck.
I have the "Move focus to next window" active with the ⌘+` key combination on System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard.
- I've tried what's described here Command Backtick isn't working to cycle through windows in some apps (including Safari), but nothing worked.
- I've tested replacing the normal keyboard shortcut
⌘+`byShift+⌘+`and then the correct behaviour happens – it switches between Safari Windows. So it seems something is capturing that shortcut specifically whenever I'm on a Safari Window (but not the Safari Settings window). - I've also disabled (and then removed) all Safari extensions, and
⌘+`continues to not work. Deleted multiple caches and leftover plugins from bygone eras. - I've also disabled Safari's usage of iCloud (as I've seen this behaviour on my two Macs), but to no avail.
- I've booted into safe mode, but again
⌘+`still does not toggle between open Safari windows, suggesting its not a login item. - It happens both with the laptop's (US) internal keyboard, or with external ones.
I'm at a loss at whatever is capturing ⌘+` on Safari. This did not happen before I updated to mac OS Sonoma.
Any ideias on how to track it down? (or, better yet, how solve it?)
