Rewind/Move 1 measure back can not be changed to the comma key
In Musescore 3 I reassigned the Rewind/Move 1 measure back function to the comma key because that's the way it works in Logic and I want to keep it the same way in Musescore. In Musescore 4 this doesn't work. The key can be assigned but nothing happens when you press it. Assigning the Move 1 measure forward function to the period key still works. So this must be something to do with the comma key...
Hope this will get fixed so I can finally move on from Musescore 3.

What is your keyboard layout / how do you type the comma?

It's a German QWERTZ layout but the comma and period keys are in the same location as in the US QWERTY: Right next to the M key.

What's the name of shortcut under Edit -> Preferences -> Shortcuts? I am not finding anything named "Rewind/Move 1 measure back" or similar.

In German it says "Zum vorigen Takt gehen/ Text schnell nach links verschieben". Which would translate to "Go to previous measure/ Move text quickly to the left".
Sorry for naming the shortcut incorrectly. I hope this is the correct name in English.

They work fine for me both with US QWERTY and German QWERTZ layouts. Can you export your shortcuts to a file and attach it here? On the Shortcuts page there is an Export button. Zip it if site does not want to accept it.
What is your OS and version of MuseScore Studio?

I just updates to macOS 15.5 and Musescore 4.5.2. The problem persists. It's just my specific combination of that function and the comma key. Other shortcuts work with the comma key. And other keys can be assigned to this function. I really have no idea what is going on here.

Works for me with your shortcuts file on Windows 10. Could be a macOS issue.
Does any other key work instead of the comma? E.g. if you swap the dot and comma?
Try pressing . (dot) and , (comma) a few times, then go to menu Help -> Diagnostics -> Save diagnostic files and attach them here.

After I assigned the comma key to a completely different function and then back to the intended function, it suddenly started working for the first time ever. Such an odd issue that I never hade with Musescore 3. Thank you for looking into it. I'll report here if the problem comes back.

Could it be that the shortcuts settings for Musescore 3 and 4 are conflicting if you have them both installed? Or do they have separate files? I don't know where the settings are located.

Ahh, with a default value of Ctrl+Left. You had me worried :-)
