Keyboard shortcut for Offset path changes automatically
I use offset path a lot in my work, so I have set a keyboard shortcut for it. cmd+shft+Å. This has worked always, until now.
Now I cant even see the Obejct - Path - Offset path in keyboard shortcut setting panel. Still I see that this function has a shortcut, but not the one I have set. See pictures.
Now I noticed, that system changes the keyboard setting that i've made to Effect - Path - Offset path.
Is thee a way around, or is this something that I'll need to wait to be fixed?

In the Keyboard Shortcuts menu under Object > Path, the "Offset Path" and "Outline Path" actions are no longer available.
I know how the commands work, and when there are conflicts, I always find an alternative. But now with the new Illustrator 29.8.1 update (September 2025), I've lost these two actions in the PATH section, which I usually use for my work. So I can't assign my custom hotkey. -
I have exactly the same problem.

Please, send over these specific .kys-files to sharewithai@adobe.com for the investigation.
It feels like Ai can’t read or allow to use the combinations used; Cmd + Shift + Å (perhaps because of the overring) and Ctrl + F4 (because it’s a system combination to close the document — Ai even does not allow me to assign it in the first place, so I am surprised you were bale to assign it in the first place).
A workaround would be to create the set anew, and see if it stumbles at this specific hotkey in particular. Please comment back on this. -

it's my serious problem, I used to f4 short key for offset path, but change automatically to Ctrl+f4 and after reset my keyboard short keys disappeared from object panel .
