Older versions of BBEdit had Command-K and Command-R as keyboard equivalents for "Check Syntax" and "Run", respectively. That functionality seems to have disappeared in BBEdit 12. How do I get those keyboard shortcuts back?

Those are still the keyboards equivalents over here.

First thing to do would be to check your BBEdit settings and then maybe also System settings.

In BBEdit settings, look in the Menus & Shortcuts pane. Click the #! line, and you'll see the menu commands for Check Syntax, Run, etc., listed with their menu keys, if any, on the right. Double-click the key combination for one you want to change - it will then be editable, and you simply type the combination you want, such as Command-K for Check Syntax. You might be warned that that key-comb is already in use for something else, and you can decide whether to override that with your new setting.

If that doesn't work, go into macOS System Settings, open the Keyboard pane, pick the Shortcuts tab, and then choose App Shortcuts. Press the '+' sign and navigate to BBEdit in the pop-up and follow directions for setting the shortcut (shortcut = key combination). The one trick here is that you will have to type in the exact Menu command including any punctuation, so it helps to look at the menu while still in BBEdit and memorize or write down the menu command. Again, you might get a warning about the shortcut already being used for something else.

All this assumes you have recent BBEdit and system versions, although these operations haven't changed much in a while...
