Description

When visiting https://nushell.sh on a mac, the search bar's placeholder is incorrectly: Ctrl K

Image

Pressing Ctrl + K on a Mac does nothing. Pressing CMD + K doesn't do anything either.

If I click on the search bar, close the search overlay, then the placeholder turns into Cmd K and only then pressing cmd+k will work:

Research direction

Reproduce the search bar shortcut issue on macOS at https://nushell.sh, before and after clicking the search bar or closing the overlay. Trace the search bar's shortcut and placeholder behavior; done means the placeholder shows the correct macOS shortcut and Cmd+K works immediately without prior interaction.
