I have a strange problem that cmd key shortcuts are sometimes not working
cmd+z doesn't undo in google docs on safari
cmd+f doesn't search inside google docs on safari
cmd+shift+t does open the most recently closed tab, but will then immediately close again
these might be unrelated, but it's strangely all cmd shortcuts, and most other cmd shortcuts work fine
this is on a new M2 macbook air, fully up to date on Venture 13.1

I can't tell you why the commands are not working for you but all three work for me with Safari in Ventura on an iMac Pro. I doubt having a different Mac makes a difference.
"shortcuts are sometimes not working"
When do they work correctly (If they do)? What applications do the work properly in and what applications do they not? Or do they not work correctly at any time? More information would be helpful.
I think it's mostly when im using google docs in safari, but like cmd+c and v work fine
the ones I mentioned consistently dont work, but will still work sometimes (like now in apple communities it is fine)
Where is the focus when cmd-z doesn't work?
Maybe the commands aren't being directed where you think they are. Or, it is not being "passed through" to the underlying web applet. The commands are sent to Safari, but you have a web applet running inside Safari where you think those commands should go. I don't know what Safari would need to undo, but if it thinks it has something to undo it may not pass the command on to the applet running inside the browser window.
Also, all of my experience with Goolag Docs, sheets, etc., is the interface is extremely wonky. I spend as little time there as I possibly can stand because of frustration--maybe it is better, now. It may be that it isn't processing what is being handed off from the browser.
Have you tried a different browser. I keep FireFox around for websites that don't work well with Safari. I also will pull up Microsoft Edge if I think I need a chromium rendering engine. Maybe Edge would work better as the web apps may be more tuned for chromium over WebKit. FireFox uses Gecko, so that pretty much covers the gamut of the main rendering engines in the rare occasion something on the web just doesn't work correctly.
great to know they work for you!! thanks
Welcome.
I think that was explained clearly in the OP.
The reason I asked, is if the apps allow you to re-assign keyboard shortcuts that might be interfering with the default settings. That's all I was getting at by asking.
Just to add to what I said before, cmd+z and cmd+f works for me with Google Docs in Safari, Firefox, Brave and Chrome.
