Try this command: MSG $KB. If it returns empty, no KBD file is loaded; otherwise, it will return the
name of the loaded KBD file. If a KBD file is loaded, open it and confirm that the expected Ctrl+O
and Ctrl+Q key bindings are actually there.

If MSG $KB reports no KBD file, double-check that you've added

CD $XSDIR

as the very first line of startup.xpl (I assume that your startup.xpl loads a KBD file!), then
restart XyScript. If your KBD file is actually loaded but the keystrokes do not work, that indicates
a deeper issue, possibly macOS-related.
