View->Reduce shortcut does not work on macOS

The shortcut for View->Reduce (i.e. shift-command-<) does not work on macOS. It just does nothing.

Actually, it should not have the "Shift key" set.

    I agree the shift key use is inconsistent with the previouis versions with reduce and magnify. While I can get around this as Stéphane suggests with system level tools. The Apple system uses cmd-+ and cmd-- (open a picture in preview) and I find the inconsistent behavior between applications a little troubling. I know Chemdraw uses cmd-+ and cmd-- for super and subscript, but I don't use those shortcuts very often.

    As a workaround, you can do the following:

    1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu

    2. Select the Keyboard item, then Shortcuts

    3. On the left, select App Shortcuts then click on the + button

    4. In Application: select your version of ChemDraw. In Menu Title: type "Reduce". In Keyboard Shortcut: type the shortcut you want (usually Command-<)

    5. Click on the Add button
