I use the Outlook web app on MacOS, and selecting text word by word no longer works (shift + option + arrow on a Mac keyboard). This stopped working sometime this weekend. I tried multiple browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari) and multiple Macs (Two different MBAs and one MB Mini). I tried it on a PC and it works fine. It seems that something broken on the web app for Mac users over the weekend.
This is a critical shortcut for things like copying and pasting or deleting. Anyone having the same problem and has an idea of what to do about it?

2024-06-02T07:18:48+00:00 I think this is it! My initial test email composition is looking good, no weird behavior. I had Gmail keyboard shortcuts before and changed them to outlook.com -- will keep it this way through the week.
Thank you very much 🙏

But soon enough, I realized I need the other Office apps for attachments/etc., which I don't have and don't want to install either. I'm now back on the web client. And I'm generally satisfied with the overall suite of the Office webapps. So unless you have native apps, that switch is pointless. I might now try the script...
