Can you please tell us what version you are using (I remember having a
bug with git at a moment, but not lately). Plus let us know what
shortcut is not working as expected, is it Alt+<LETTER> or only a
niche shortcut, currently it is known that Alt+Shift+<NUMBER> switches
the notebook tab.

If you run from git, can you pull and rebuild first?

Kind Regards
