I can't get a new shortcut to work

I have attempted to create a shortcut for Navigate: Back in History.
While it shows up when I look for the Back in history entry in the command pallet, it does not function otherwise.
Here are my SETTINGS entry:

#meta

This page contains some configuration overrides for SilverBullet. A list of configs and their documentation [[!SETTINGS|can be found here]].

To update the [[!Libraries|libraries]] specified below, run {[Libraries: Update]}

- import: "[[!silverbullet.md/Library/Journal/*]]"
shortcuts:
   - command: "{[Navigate: Back in History]}"
     key: "Ctrl-Shift-("

I’ve used Window Managers for years on Linux. So, I am familiar with conflicting keybindings. I have checked the keybindings for my browser (Qutebrowser) and my Window Manager(DWM) and found zero conflicts.

I am new to silverbullet. By nature, I generally try everything that I can think of to resolve a situation like this. In this instance, I’ve reloaded, reindexed, stopped the docker instance and restarted it.

I am out of options. I would very much appreciate any help or suggestions you may have.

Thanks,
Don

Can’t easily check right now, but have you tried Ctrl-( or Ctrl-Shift-9 as key bindings? Things with shift can be a bit weird.

Thank you for your suggestion. I already had it set for Ctrl-Shift-9
which wasn’t working. I changed it to Ctrl-9 which didn’t work either. Sigh. I’ll survive. Have a great day.

Edit: I changed from Ctrl to Alt and it worked!!! So, now the shortcut is Alt-9. :smile:

FYI… the major problem here was my browser. I use the Qutebrowser as my main browser. Upon further investigation, I found that they had a number of bindings that are hidden in the documentation. This, on top of their advertised keybindings made it virtually impossible for me to find an unused keybinding. I have switched to another browser for the sole purpose of running Silverbullet. Thankyou all for your help
