A lot of this was fixed by https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kconfig/-/merge_requests/344 (KDE Frameworks 6.10) Can you try to use latest nightly(https://kate-editor.org/get-it/)? Though, I am not sure if the latest nightly uses KF 6.10 or not. You can confirm by checking the about dialog. Created attachment 177718 [details]

Attached a new .shortcuts file that is more aligned with other mac apps.
(In reply to Waqar Ahmed from comment #1) > A lot of this was fixed by > https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kconfig/-/merge_requests/344 (KDE > Frameworks 6.10) Awesome! In case you fixed also "select left/right word" and "select till beginning/end of line", then feel free to close this issue directly right now. Yes, those are fixed. Along with a few others like Fullscreen, moving to end/start of document, deleting words etc. Moving lines up/down has changed to Ctrl+Cmd+Up/Down (for mac). On Windows, linux its Ctrl+Shift+up/down |
Created attachment 177714 [details] comparison of keyboard shortcuts under MacOS SUMMARY I moved from Linux to MacOS (not by choice) and even after 1 month, I still cannot build ANY muscle memory for basic text editing at all. While trying to understand why, I found out that Kate is using different keyboard shortcuts than other MacOS native apps. See attached image. I'd like to ask you to mach Kate's keyboard shortcuts to match those of other Mac apps.
