Not sure if this is a bug or not but:  
I am trying to format code on mac with cmd+f or cmd+k or document with: cmd+shift+opt+f and it does not work.

After pressing cmd+a and then cmd+f - 99% of the time it brings up a find window. cmd+k does nothing after cmd+a.

How do we format our code? I have the latest trial version. It only seems to run if I go cmd+a and right click select format selection, using cmd+a and right clicking \> format document does not even work either?

How do we beautify our code if the commands do not work on mac m1 arm?

Thanks,  
Fungames  
p.s. I will try windows soon, maybe its a mac setting I have?
