Shortcuts for individual categories don't seem to work
After discovering keyboard shortcuts, I noticed a problem:
The keyboard shortcuts for going to individual categories (like g c 1) don't do anything for me.
Note that the shortcut for the category page (g c c) works fine, and so do the shortcuts for the category specific tags (like g t 1), so it's not specifically the number keys not working.
As an aside, it would be nice if the page for enable/disable keyboard tools mentioned that, unlike all other profile settings, this setting is per community (so that enabling it on meta doesn't also enable it e.g. on writing).

We've added a "preferences" tab to the user profile. There are global (network-wide) and per-community preferences. We've made keyboard shortcuts a global preference.
We don't yet have "global, but with local overrides"; a preference is either global or has to be set on each individual community. When we have a proper network profile we should be able to improve on that.

Could you check if this is still happening for you? Those shortcuts work for me in Chrome now, but I don't know what you were using and I haven't gotten to a Windows machine yet to test in Edge. Also, we've made the setting global and moved it into a new "preferences" section on the profile page. — Monica Cellio 3 months ago
@MonicaCellio I think I added a fix for that in the change with the site switcher. So I suppose this should now be status-completed. — luap42 😷 3 months ago
@MonicaCellio: It now works. Note that I'm not on Windows either, though (I'm mainly using Waterfox on Linux). @luap42: thank you. (Do multiple attributions in one comment work?) — celtschk 3 months ago
Re multiple pings in a comment, don't know. I got pinged; we'll have to wait to see if luap42 did too. — Monica Cellio 3 months ago
