Cannot find Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts after enabling dark mode

I am in trouble changing the keypoard shortcut preferences after enabling the dark mode in MATLAB R2023b.

I followed the procedures desribed in Try Dark Mode on Desktop MATLAB with the ‘New Desktop for MATLAB’ beta » The MATLAB Blog - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com) to enable the dark mode. However, after this change, I cannot open the Keyboard Shortcuts Preferences page. According to Customize Keyboard Shortcuts - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com), it can be opened by going to Home tab, clicking Preferences, then selecting MATLAB > Keyboard > Shortcuts, but I only see "Delimeter Matching" preferences and don't see "Shortcuts" preference. Does anyone have a similar issue?

Hi Daigo,

It appears the problem you're encountering with accessing the keyboard shortcut preferences after enabling dark mode in MATLAB R2023b is acknowledged in the known issues section of the 'New Desktop for MATLAB' beta, which can be found here:

I have tested the 'New Desktop for MATLAB' beta for R2024a General Release, the issue is resolved and now I can access keyboard shortcut preferences.
