keyboard shortcut for Symmetry not working mac Big Sur

Other keyboard shortcuts for scaling, rotation, translation are recognized. I can right click on the parameters tab and get to the symmetry dialog but the hotkey would be easiet and much faster.

1 I pick a bone like left leg or shoulder and rotate it back (also tried hips and root figure)

2 bone still selected I try Shift Y

3 no dialog box.

I must be missing something obvious.  Any ideas most appreciated.

    Does cmd Z work for Undo? I'm not sure what you mean by keyboard shortcuts for transforms, it's not clear that that is relevant.

    Also, please use a fully non-textured view if showing a nude figure.

    I'm on Mac, and Shift-Y stopped working for me many versions back. All the Cmd-whatever shortcuts work fine, but this one (which doesn't use the command key) doesn't.

    Window>Workspace>Customise, on the left find the command (I can't recall which group it is in off-hand). Does it still list the short cut? if not right-click, choose the set option, and press the key-combo to assign it.

    It's in Parameters, and the shortcut is still shown.

    That's odd. You could try clearing it and then restoring it, from the right-click menu in the Customise dialogue.

    Sorry to respond so late . Still figurng out the website. (so forum messages dont show up in my account message tab?) Shift -Y doesn't work on my macbook using eiher the macbook keyboard or my external keyboard.  It does work with Daz Studio on my PC but all my 3d apps are mac based. I was able to remap the Symmetry command key to my F10 function key on the mac but no keyboard combo like "S" or Shift- S worked. I think I have it Wierd.

    I suspect it may be something in the OS, possibly that a simple character-producing keystroke cannot be used as a shortcut to invoke a menu command.
