Hi there, Norah Altamimi ! The CMD + OPTION + J shortcut only works inside of the Chrome web browser. If you are using Safari, you will first need to go to Safari -> Preferences, then click on the "Advanced" tab. At the bottom you will find a checkbox which says "Show Develop menu in menu bar". Make sure this is checked then return to the Safari browser. Now, up on the top menu bar you should see a menu that says "Develop" and you will find a whole list of options there. The CMD + OPTION + C should start working now. This shortcut will not work in Safari unless you've checked that box in the preferences.

However, both work in Chrome without having to adjust anything at all.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
