The issue was a bit difficult to find: that shortcut is linked to "Search with Google". But the result is that Safari is launched - with whatever is in the clipboard as the search query to google.
The resolution is to uncheck the "Search with Google" checkbox in the services | shortcuts | searching area. Afterwards the Mac shortcut for bulleted paragraph works properly (and always)

When Word is the frontmost application, all keyboard shortcuts are sent to it. Therefore ⇧⌘L will create a bulleted list before any other action that is set to it.
⇧⌘L is not a standard keyboard shortcut for Safari, therefore you need to look for whatever app has set up this keyboard shortcut to override Word.
I think this happened either after I updated macOS to 12.3 or after Bitwarden updated to 1.32.0.
I've tried these:
Uninstalled and reinstalled Bitwarden two times; once normally and once with AppCleaner to delete all Bitwarden-related files
Safari's shortcut for Show Sidebar and Hide Sidebar is also Cmd + Shift + L, so I changed that to something else
In macOS, there is a shortcut for "Search with Google" that's set to Cmd + Shift + L by default, so I changed that as well
None of them have worked. The only time I can get it to work is when I disable the extension (in Safari - Preferences - Extensions) and then re-enable it. Even then it only works one time and then stops working which is really weird lol.
I don't think it's a shortcut overlap problem because it worked fine for a few months, even when the Sidebar and Search with Google shortcuts were Cmd + Shift + L. I'm not sure what even caused it. I think the only other app I installed around the time this started happening is called Rectangle but I don't think that has anything to do with it.
For now I'm using Cmd + Shift + Y and then using my mouse to click the account that I want to autofill.
I'd appreciate any help.
WMD's issues with the Command key (⌘) on Mac browsers:
⌘B
- should and does: bold selected text
⌘G
- should: find next
- instead: display "Insert image" dialog
⌘H
- should: hide browser app
- instead: creates a heading
⌘I
- should and does: italicize selected text
⌘K
- should and does: indent selected text
⌘L
- should: move cursor to address bar
- instead: display "Insert hyperlink" dialog
⌘O
- should: open file
- instead: create ordered list
⌘Q
- should: quit browser
- instead: insert blockquote
⌘R
- should: reload window
- instead: insert horizontal rule
⌘U
- should and does: create unordered list
⌘Z
- should and does: undo previous edit (albeit with different scope)
⌘⇧Z
- should: redo previous edit
- instead: nothing
Summary: 5 of 12 commands work the way Mac users would expect.
The Control key (⌃) works correctly:
⌃B - bold selected text
⌃G - display "Insert image" dialog
⌃H - creates a heading
⌃I - italicize selected text
⌃K - indent selected text
⌃L - display "Insert hyperlink" dialog
⌃O - create ordered list
⌃Q - insert blockquote
⌃R - insert horizontal rule
⌃U - create unordered list
⌃Z - undo previous edit
The simplest way to fix the above (imo): stop catching the Command key and stick with Control only.
the option to use the WMD with Command modifier hot-keys be removed
I disagree. Why should Mac users fall back to Ctrl-B and Ctrl-I while the usual Command-B and Command-I work flawlessly nowadays?
(True, Command-L can be an minor annoyance, but I hardly ever want to disregard my edits and use the same browser window. To get an additional window, for me Command-N/Command-T followed by Return are good workarounds for Command-L followed by Command-Return.)
Also, I'm using Windows at work, on which I am used to Ctrl. There Ctrl-L does not get me into the location bar either, while editing. Not a big deal for me either, but I guess this is not just Mac related. In retrospect, the choice for L might have been a bad one.
Trying to setup the autofill shortcut but Cmd + shift + L does nothing on Safari. Cmd + shift + Y works and pulls up the Bitwarden menu.
Here's my Mac shortcut settings: https://imgoe.download/image/B1atp
MacOS: 15.2
Safari: 18.2
Bitwarden: 2025.1.0
Am I missing something?
