Command-H on Mac does not hide the app

[maciekberry]

Describe the bug Hi, a pro subscription user here (whatever it means :) )

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. MacOS, but this aplies to the web application as well
2. Try to edit any note
3. Press Cmd-H which is the ABSOLUTE STANDARD shortcut for hiding the active window
4. The window is not hidden, the text is changed into some kind of header instead.

Sorry if this sounds exagerated, this is extremely annoying and a deal breaker for me. I "Cmd-H" my apps five times per hour and every time I do it in StandardNotes, I am not very nice verbally :)

Expected behavior If the user presses Cmd-H, the app window should hide, in all circumstances

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS and Web app
• Browser: Tried with Firefox

A new detail: this issue happens with rich text notes. In the "plain text" it does not happen.

Also - it is extremely similar to another one: https://github.com/standardnotes/forum/issues/3057

Please do not underestimate my frustration.

Hi @maciekberry, first of all, I'd like to apologize that your issue here wasn't acknowledged or triaged properly. At the time, the Forum was in a much less organized state, so much so that I could no longer keep up with reports here, and found myself responding a lot less to issues here. Thankfully though, earlier this year, one of our members on the Discord server (Myreli) offered to help out a bit with managing things here. With their help, the Discussions feature was implemented on this repo, and a majority of the older issues had either been closed, triaged, or transferred to the Discussions feature. Eventually I managed to continue where they left off and clean up the remaining issues, but I do apologize that yours remained unaddressed in spite of all this.

For #3057, the shortcut was likely overridden because there's already an existing function on the editor which makes use of the same shortcut keys. However, I'm not quite certain what may be causing this for Rich Text, since there don't appear to be any known functions in that editor which make use of Cmd + H as a shortcut.

Nonetheless, I've already opened this as a point of discussion within the team. While it may be possible to address this for #3057 by changing the shortcut mapping, I'm afraid I'm not certain if the same can be done for Rich Text since it's one of the 3rd party developed editors. Still, we'll see what we can do 🙏

Hello @effieeee ,

Don't worry - we are all busy. :)

I am checking the most recent version of StandardNotes (3.172.1) and the status is as follows:

• In the Plain Text note, it works very well - Cmd-H minimises the app
• In the Super note, you need to press Cmd-H three times to minimise the app (once it opens the search function, then switches the focus, then closes the app). It's an annoyance but fairly minor.
• In the Markdown editor, it's catastrophic: Cmd-H changes the formatting of the current line.

Please keep us in touch how you progress on this.

The Super note case is fixed: Cmd-H works properly (after one press).

The Markdown editor is still not fixed: Cmd-H changes the formatting and never hides the app
