Hi, I'm using Edge on MacOS and when I try to use the system shortcuts outline here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchl9674d0b0/mac The two in the screenshot below do not work while Edge is focused:

When I press Fn-Control-Up Arrow while I have multiple taps open and the Edge window is active:

Expected behavior: The Edge window moves to the top half of the desktop.
Actual behavior: Edge switches the active tab, left.

Similar for Fn-Control-Down Arrow.

How can I disable or change Edge's shortcuts so they do not conflict with default MacOS system shortcuts?

Best,

Tim

    Hello, good day and thanks for your question. Just to check and confirm, what is the macOS that you have on your device and the version of Edge, is this not the behavior or the case from the previous version? Checked this on the latest macOS Tahoe with the latest version of Edge and since you will not be able to change the behavior of the shortcut directly in Edge, the next option is to go to System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard shortcuts > Windows > Halves > from there you can change the Tile Top Half and Tile Half Bottom.
