key commands in 4.0.2 German
Hello;
not sure if this was reported elsewhere/before: There are issues with key commands at least in 4.0.2 German.
First, the default key commands for cresc./decresc. were changed; and it appears to me as if the bindings are now not following the symbol but the key position. And since the key position for "<" and ">" is different on an English keyboard we are now getting the commands "Shift ," and "Shift ." instead.
This of course breaks the mnemonic of < and >.
Reassigning those to the German keyboard is possible, however > (which is here Shift <) does not work subsequently.
All this worked fine in MS 3.

Well, re-assigning them by editing shortcuts.xml directly does work.
Attched is mine, replace your's with it

Thanks.
As I wrote: re-assigning works but the ">" command does not work. Same with your shortcuts.xml.
There is some additional weirdness; I'll investigate further.

It has this for that purpose:
That's not ist only change and extension though

I tried it again - and again it doesn't work.
To make this somewhat reproduceable I startet by resetting the key commands for the hairpins to their default setting (Shift , and Shift .). Then I quit MS. Then I moved your shortcuts.xml into the appropriate folder and restarted MS. The key commands for the hairpins are now < and >. But while < works > still doesn't work.
This is on macOS Monterey; and I've observed this on another Mac as well. I can check tomorrow on Windows and on a third Mac.
As I wrote: there seems to be some general weirdness when it comes to the > (aka Shift <) key command; I believe this doesn't work at all. Maybe a Qt problem on macOS?
Example: I start MS without any shortcuts.xml (so it gets generated freshly) and assign > to "Elementsichtbarkeit umschalten" (not sure what that's called in English). > does NOT work for this - but instead < works as long as it isn't used for another command.

Hmm, OK, I'm on Windows 11

I'll test on both Win and Mac tomorrow.

Both your file as well as manual reassignment work on a Windows 10 machine. Neither works on several macOS Monterey machines.
As described: the ">" command doesn't work with a German keyboard on macOS.

That indeed works (both variants), thanks. The second one makes more sense from a logical point of view for me (it's "Shift+symbol without shift" while the first one is "shift+symbol that already requires shift").
Still feels like a bug to me, though.

OK, those work for me too, the Shift just isn't needed for me, but it doesn't harm either.
So I'll add it, just in case I'd need to share that file again ;-)
