BUG REPORT: macOS Keyboard Shortcut

Bobby Bosler

Hey there, I reported this bug a long time ago during the new notes beta, but it still has not been implemented.

In macOS, the CMD+Up and CMD+Down keystroke is supposed to navigate the cursor to the beginning and end of the text field. I use this somewhat regularly, but it doesn't work in the Logos Notes text field.

Can other people confirm that they are having the same issue?

I suspect that this was not a shortcut that was built into the notes editor when Logos developed it.
