"A" Key not working as intended.

• Jun 18, 2024 - 20:23

REPOSTING because the original thread seems to have disappeared.

Using ver. 4.3.2 on an M1 Mac.

Every time I attempt to enter an "A" while in edit mode, rather than an A being added to the score, the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the current measure. I checked the Shortcuts preferences and there are no conflicts. I have restarted both MuseScore and my computer, and the behavior persists. It also happens in multiple files, including files I last edited with previous versions.

A previous response directed me to a post in which someone was having similar troubles. I attempted their fix, which was to remove some lines from shortcut.xml, but it has not fixed the issue.

OK, you did not remove these (potential) culprit shortcuts:

    <SC>
        <key>nav-next-section</key>
        <seq>F6</seq>
        <seq>`</seq>                                   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<   this
    </SC>
 ...
    <SC>
        <key>nav-prev-section</key>
        <seq>Shift+F6</seq>
        <seq>Shift+`</seq>                       <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< and this
    </SC>

Also remember to stop (all instances of) MuseScore before and start only after the modification of that file.

What type of keyboard? I assume not an US-QWERTY?
