Custom shortcuts created in the MacOS sys preferences stopped working

The need for custom shortcuts remains:

In the meantime, I’ve been using the System Preferences of MacOS to create custom shortcuts:

Those shortcuts have stopped working a while ago.
This is important - it needs to be fixed.

Same here. Shortcuts that were created in. MacOS system preferences stopped working all of a sudden. I had the same issues as the original poster described; only some shortcuts would work. But the ones that did, worked consistently. But none of them work now.

It would be extremely helpful if these were to work again. I try to keep my shortcuts the same between all of my prototyping tools for faster workflows. This is a huge bummer.

Same here, it’s the only application that overrides my system shortcuts.

It’s quite frustrating a user can’t determine set their own shortcuts anymore.

Absolutely agree. How is it even possible. There is an existing MacOS functionality, which perfectly works for bunch of apps / for bunch of people. Why blocking that?? 
I can understand why Figma wouldn’t have customize shortcuts in their own app. I can understand why Figma would suggest default shortcuts for new users as FIGMA thinks better. But I cannot see why it shouldn’t be possible for existing users to map their custom shortcuts with System Preferences of MacOS or third-party app. Let people do what they want… It reminds me of the worst = Adobe.
