Unable to change any keyboard shortcut

[Scroogeee]

JabRef version

5.15 (latest release)

Operating system

macOS

Details on version and operating system

Tahoe 26.0.1 (25A362)

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

• I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Open Jabref
2. Select File > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts
3. Select any Entry, e.g. File > Close Library
4. Click on the entry OR Right click on the entry OR double click on the entry
5. Type the key / key combination that you want instead for this action
6. See bug: Nothing happens

Appendix

I'm not entirely sure how the keybindings are supposed to be customized (see step 5), but I cannot get any alternative keybinding to get registered for any action.
The documentation doesn't help: https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation/blob/main/en/setup/customkeybindings.md
