option + tab to fast toggle between mode not working

Hi, is the rollout for the feature option + tab to fast toggle between mode complete? Miggi posted this on X. Doesn’t work for me.

    Hi everyone! Quick followup to let you know that this has been rolled out to everyone now - thanks so much for your patience. Make sure you update to the newest version of the desktop app, refresh your browser tab, etc. Let me know if you don’t see it, though!

    Hi, ​@Niki 👋 Thanks for your post. I have a quick question: 

    Can you share your browser and OS and whether it happens in the desktop app vs. browser.

    Thanks! — Jaycee

    Hi ​@Jaycee Lewis . Thanks for your reply. I’m on MacOS Tahoe 26.6.2. I’m working on the desktop app  (Figma Desktop App version 126.8.18 & Beta version 126.10.2). But it is the same on my browser app (Dia). Doesn’t work. BTW: Keyboard layout is German QWERTZ.

    Hi, ​@Niki - stepping in for ​@Jaycee Lewis. I’m using the same version of mac OS as you, though my Figma Desktop app updated this morning to version 126.9.10. Can you try updating your desktop app and then let us know if the option works? I just tested and it worked for me. I’m also checking with our team to see if this has been rolled out to everyone or if it’s not yet available for all accounts yet. I’ll let you know what I find out!

    Hi, ​@Jaycee Lewis. No updates for the official desktop app right now. Still on 126.8.18. I’m on the beta as well and it’s not possible to toggle modes even though it’s version 126.10.2. But for now, I'll just wait for the next updates and get back to you if it still doesn't work. Thank for your help!

    I’m seeing the same behavior. It could be that the feature is still being rolled out gradually or isn’t available on all accounts yet. It may also be worth checking whether the keyboard shortcut conflicts with any macOS system or app shortcuts.

    Hi ​@Jaycee Lewis, it works now. A restart did the trick.
