Google Docs paragraph styles: shortcut "cmd+alt+3" doesn't work, I fear there's some conflict with Firefox (Mac OSX) shortcuts, because with Safari it works just fine. Am I correct? How to solve?
As I say in the title, I cannot manage to make it work. I have to set Heading 3 manually every time, and it's the only one of all the paragraph styles. I tried with Safari and it works just fine. I was sure there was some shortcut conflict between Docs and Firefox, but I can't find the "Cmd+Alt+3" Firefox shortcut. If it doesn't exist it may be a bug, I don't know.

I don't see any shortcuts that use Cmd+Alt on this page: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts#os=mac&browser=fx11
That article mentions an add-on you can install the customize existing keyboard shortcuts. Perhaps it would help you uncover what is using Cmd+Alt+3 currently?
Yeah, I checked that page too to look for the missing shortcut. At first I didn't notice the add-on you mention, though. I tried it and it's useful, but not for my purpose, because there's no Cmd+Alt+3 combination whatsoever. Thank you, anyway ;)
Click on the document (the thing you're editing). It seems to make a difference if the last item you clicked on was within the document or somewhere else.
I press the combination after having some of the document's text selected, otherwise there wouldn't be anything to apply the paragraph style in the first place. But the real thing is I do the exact same with other paragraph styles combinations (Cmd+Alt+1, Cmd+Alt+2, Cmd+Alt+4, Cmd+Alt+5...) and it works. In Safari, even the one I'm interested in works (Cmd+Alt+3). The natural solution, it appears to me, would be a shortcut conflict, but I can't manage to find it, not even disabling my four add-ons (Adblock Plus, bookmarks-deiconizer, Customizable Shortcuts, YouTube to MP3). The Google forums are not finding a solution either. Anyway, thank you for trying.
