No more keyboard shortcut to switch to the ruler?

With advanced keyboard shortcuts on, "Q" would switch to the ruler and it was very convenient... but now it's gone? Pressing "Q" while dragging a token still brings up the ruler to trace the path so I was wondering if that was a bug or intentional change? Hope we get another way to switch to the ruler quickly if the latter.

Hi Bibuloux! I believe they recently adjusted some of the Mac standard shortcuts. [ Changelog ] The screenshot you are showing however, is the standard set. Here is the advanced set for measurement. These are two key combos:
Oh, thank you! This really helps! Are these shortcuts displayed in the settings tab or somewhere else in-game? I couldn't find them. Thanks again!

There's a link to the Help center page in the tab. I have lobbied to have those shortcuts displayed in-game.
Omg thank you for posting this, WHY change it to something more complex with no notes!
This has been driving me crazy. It seems that the Q button can be used both for tracing a path and for a shortcut to the ruler.  It's so annoying to be trying to trace a path and then find myself suddenly going to the ruler when I don't want to.  After some experimentation, it seems the Q to trace a path works ok but you have to do it very slowly.  I wish this single key wasn't used for two things.  Seems weird design to me. FYI, using Firefox on a Windows laptop.

FYI, using Firefox on a Windows laptop. I was unable to reproduce any problem with this, could you supply reproduction steps? Maybe a video? For me, I pick up a token, then hit Q and it does not switch to the ruler. Q has been a shortcut for the measurement ruler for a long time, it was removed accidentally awhile back and it's re-inclusion as a shortcut is something that folks wanted. 
hi all, Also, something kindda weird, when you drag and drop a token from journal on the map, it automatically switches to the ruler (still on the legacy tool bar, but it also happens on the new tool bar).. Am i the only one seeing this behavior ?

Hi Lionel, No I am not seeing that. Is it still happening for you?
I don't see that as well, neither Legacy nor new UI... Do you use any Extensions or Addons for Roll20? If so, does it also happen if you disable them? What happens in Private Window?
