I can replicate this on Linux as well.

I can replicate this on macOS, specifically to try to minimize the window by typing Cmd+m. It tells me (Command+M) was pressed. Waiting for a second key of chord... on the bottom blue bar (I forget what it’s called).

I have edited the title in order to cover all the OS.

Other system-wide keyboard shortcuts like Command+A (to select all text within the search field) or Command+C (to copy the selected text) do also not work on macOS when the internal PDF viewer is used.

Same issue on arch linux

Are you saying that any keyboard shortcut does not work on the PDF viewer? Or, only alt+n does not work?

I didn’t even realize it, but shortcuts such as ctrl+w or ctrl+q are not working as well…
