macOS 15 Shortcuts Not Working

macOS 15 system prevents Apps installed from the App Store from using option + letter/number as shortcuts. If you are using these shortcuts, there are currently several solutions available.

This is an intentional security change made by Apple. For more details, please check this link.

Solution 1: Upgrade to macOS 15.2 (Recommended)

Apple has fixed the issue of not being able to use Option + letter as shortcuts in macOS 15.2 Beta 2 (Build: 24C5073e). This means that only users with system versions between macOS 15.0 and macOS 15.2 Beta 2 are affected by this shortcut issue. Currently, it is recommended to upgrade to macOS 15.2 to resolve the problem.

Solution 2: Modify Shortcuts

If you can accept not using option + letter shortcuts, you can modify the shortcuts to use other combinations like control + letter, command + shift + letter, etc., which will work normally.
