There doesn't seem to be keyboard shortcuts for these, but maybe there are and these take Cmd-{ over. That said, I don't think Apple Intelligence is available yet in Sequoia 15.0, you need 15.1, currently in beta (I'm using it), to have access to it. So that's probably not the right explanation.

Howdy,

First Quit TeXShop.

Go to System Settings->Keyboard and click on Keyboard Shortcuts. Select App Shortcuts and press +. This gives a panel where you can select the app (TeXShop.app) the Menu Title (Comment) and the keyboard shortcut. The only strange thing is that the menu displays the shortcut as Shft-Cmd-[ (which is {) on a US keyboard but it seems to work.

Good Luck,
