Hey @Yakshit-Bansal, thanks for reporting. Please let us know what specific shortcuts required a restart, so we can try to reproduce your problem on our side.

[ccordoba12]

Closing due to lack of response.

Closing due to lack of response.

@ccordoba12 I'm also facing the same problem. With spyder 6.0.2, almost any keyboard shortcut change needs a restart to work.

[ccordoba12]

Yep, but this problem is not exclusive to Spyder 6 because it was also present in version 5.
