I need a keyboard shortcut to open System Preferences in my MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, 2017)
running Mojave (OS version 20.14.6)

I've gone to,
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App shortcuts ,
clicked "+" to add "System Preferences" to "All Applications" and "All controls"
and gave it the keystroke shortcut option+`

Screen Shot 2021-12-01 at 3.13.40 PM.png


then I quit Firefoxk, rebooted, and the shortcut doesn't work.

Then I added ellipses to the end of the name of System Preferences…
using option+; to create the ellipses, quit Firefoxk, rebooted . . .
and the shortcut still doesn't work.

What am I missing??

Thanks!

Hello.

Sorry for the delayed response. These steps should work:
  • In System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts, click the "+"
  • Application: All Applications
  • Menu Title: System Preferences...
  • Keyboard Shortcut: Control+Command+S
  • Logout then login
That should work anywhere.
