I was hoping to create/modify a shortcut for View>Hide Interface. It is currently ^H and I would ideally like to make it TAB (to match my existing workflow) as one button is faster and easier to press.

I followed the instructions at https://www.pixelmator.com/tutorials/cu ... shortcuts/ but it seems I'm unable to enter a keystroke into the "keyboard shortcut" field. Nothing happens when I press TAB in the key field. I've also tried assigning the new shortcut to J but, again, nothing happens.

Is this a MacOS issue or something to do with Pixelmator Pro?

I'm running a 2019 MacBook Pro 16" (2,4Ghz i9) with Pixelmator Pro 3.2.3

I've been playing some more with this and it seems I can't use a single key for shortcuts... it must be a two-key shortcut, i.e. in tandem with either Command, Control or Option. Bummer. I was hoping to have a single key shortcut.
