On Blender for Mac, ctrl and command often work interchangeably. Does ⌘+1 work to subdivide ?

Not work too
I did Command + 1 not work
Control + 1 not work too

I check Preferences > Keymap and I found there is active already and I tried still not work.

Control + 1 - the default macOS shortcut for switching between desktop spaces, can be disabled in the System Preferences.

But ⌘+1 should work too. I can subdivide using command 1, 2 etc on rB716ea15479895e56eb9f6d973

I already turn off everything for a long time until now.

I spoke to (800) my-apple and there Apple store was full schedule many times until boss decide to send me Space Gray Keyboard with Key number (Below keyboard of picture) that what I have Apple Care no cost tome.)
White keyboard was broken before. Now finally schedule available yaaa ay and I went to Apple store to exchange (White keyboard on top of picture)

Now I take test and I found out reason why.

Confirming the report. It may not be a bug but behaviour is different. When emulate numpad is enabled, modifier keys (ctrl, command) don't take effect. 1-2-3 work for changing views (orthographic etc)

I'm not sure what you mean. When you turn on "emulate numpad", it converts the 0-9 keys to a Numpad 0-9 keys, there is no more 0-9 keys.

When the "Emulate Numpad" is enabled.
Key combination Cmd + 1 equivalent to Cmd + Numpad 1.
Which performs the "View Axis / Back".

Now you got it understand. Not talk about System Preferences > Keyboard no no no.
Focus on Blender about Mac small keyboard and big keyboard + Key number.

Check box turn on with emulate numpad make 1 is front, 3 is side, 7 is top within small keyboard without keynum because of Command + 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 not work. Need to add feature to support Command + 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Why not use your own Macintosh to take test yourself both small keyboard and big keyboard + Key Number about Subdivide on Command + 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 make sure [√] emulate numpad and [ ] emulate numpad test.

That is bad UX.. I have just one keyboard: the integrated one, and I need both subdivision and quick view changing. I have less shortcuts already, and if two combinations do the same thing.. it's a waste.
I'm not familiar with the constraints of why it behaves as it does, so I'm totally okay with a closed-as-invalid slam (;
