⌘N creates new Bear note regardless of which app is in focus

  • Bear Version: 2.8.1
  • OS Version: macOS 26.5.1
  • What were you doing: Using the ⌘N shortcut in other apps (not Bear) while Bear is open in the background
  • What feature did you use: N/A
  • What happened: Bear app came into focus and a new note was created
  • What did you expect to happen: A new (anything) to be created in the app I was actually focused on

This hasn’t happened before, so it could be a bug introduced in the recent update. I use the Tuna launcher for macOS, so I quit out of that in case it was causing any conflicts. Same behavior.

Any chance you have set a shortcut in the Create a new note global shortcut here?
