All the mac keyboard short cuts like Cmd + Q (Quit Simulator app), Cmd + K (Toggle keyboard hide/show in Simulator) etc has stopped workings for iOS Simulator app since this morning suddenly.
All other apps, including Xcode, shows the shortcut in menus and they are working fine.
I noticed, the shortcut keys shows up against menu items momentarily on launch of simulator but then disappears completely (see attached)...
I tried following but no success...
Launch simulator (Open Xcode project and then menu Product > Run. And, directly through menu Xcode > Open Developer Tools).
Erase All Content and Settings in Simulator...
Restart Mac
Xcode 9.0.1 (9A1004) | Mac 10.13 (17A405)
Make sure you're using the latest version of the app. If the keyboard shortcut uses a function key, you may also need to press and hold the Fn key or the Globe key on the keyboard to perform the shortcut (depending on your Mac model, if you're using a Magic Keyboard, and how you set an option in Keyboard preferences).
Just press ⌘K it will toggle keyboard.
Go to Settings and then General. Tap on the Reset > Reset All Settings. This should resolve your shortcut issue.
To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use Command-C (copy), press and hold the Command key, then the C key, then release both keys.
You might have enabled (checked) the "Send all keyboard shortcuts to device" mode. It's in the Hardware > Keyboard submenu.
Pressing both Left and Right Cmd keys at the same time will exit keyboard capturing mode and re-enable menu shortcuts.
You might have disabled(unchecked) "Connect hardware keyboard" option which is in the hardware/keyboard menu. Make sure its checked.
