Keyboard shortcut Verify not working

The verify keyboard shortcut CMD + R is not working on my IDE.

When I press it, a new "blank" window opens, and at the top shows "index.html" and a progress circle, then goes back to the original code screen - but does not verify (at least no output is shown). I think maybe it is performing a "window reload"?

The shortcut works fine on my PC (CTRL + R)

I notice if I go to Arduino > Advanced > Keyboard shortcuts, the key bindings seem kind of odd, but I was able to change it to (ctrl + R) and make it work.

Hi @M_James_O. Thanks for your report!

This bug is tracked by the Arduino developers here:

It turned out to be a bug in the "Eclipse Theia" IDE framework the Arduino IDE 2.x is built on. They have already fixed that bug, so Arduino IDE will inherit the fix as soon as the developers update to the latest version of Theia. That update is in progress now:

If you have a GitHub account, you can subscribe to that issue and pull request to get notifications of any new developments related to this subject.

If you would like to give it a try, tester builds are available. I'll provide the instructions:

  1. Sign in to your GitHub account.
    (GitHub only allows downloads of the tester builds when you are signed in)
  2. Open this page in your browser:
    Update Theia version to 1.25.0 · arduino/arduino-ide@3ece882 · GitHub
  3. Click the "macOS_dmg" link under the "Artifacts" section of the page.
