Shortcuts under MacOs Sonoma

Thanks for your reply Isaac.

The user directory is: ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.3/ 

That sounded correct. 

So I investigated a bit more on the Python side.  It was definitely a Python issue.

I still can hardly believe it, but it seems that the upgrade had completely stripped my system of any Python. I (re)installed it from the official site, and all the LyX shortcuts got working again. And the reconfigure function, too.

So, problem solved for now. BR, Daniel
