@samarron has just released Sonic Pi 4.6 installers for Mac and Windows available on [sonic-pi.net](http://sonic-pi.net) or on the sonic pi GitHub site. I won’t have access to my raspberry pi till early next week but I hope to produce a binary image installer for the pi then and will post details here. I already have it running on a pi and virtual Debian and Ubuntu platforms. ---

On my Intel iMac 27-inch 2020 Sequoia 15.5, Sonic Pi 4.6.0 would not start. ![SonicPi460error](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sonic_pi/original/2X/7/75a0fae981b3529f24498e431e1c844105715a2a.png) ---

Sorry to hear that. Can you report on [GitHub · Where software is built](https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/issues) ? Also with content .sonic-pi/logs Thats best place for this to be followed up. From the log image loocks like there is a missing library. I’ve only got M2 and M4 based macs here and they are workig fine. ---

Thanks, good catch. This is unfortunately because my old intel-based Mac is too old for macOS 13 and so this was the first year I didn’t test with it to catch this sort of thing. Lesson learned! Please delete your copy of Sonic Pi and re-download from the website. I just replaced the image with one that fixes this issue. Have fun! ---

Thank you for your prompt response. Sonic Pi ver. 4.6.0 worked fine on my Intel Mac. ---

Thanks a lot for the update, especially the reworked keyboard shortcuts @samaaron! I think it makes a lot easier for people to get into Sonic Pi when they can use their familiar OS’s keyboard conventions. And I found some great new samples in 4.6 too! May I suggest one modification to the Windows shortcuts? Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End would work great as “Move to Start / End of Document” because those shortcuts are used in most text editors, in MS Office etc. so Windows users have those already in muscle memory. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/sonic_pi/original/2X/5/55e28d67f5e37d81681d432e0fd3f29e62680878.png) ---

Yes, I second the motion. Those new shortcuts would be most useful indeed. And thanks for adding the Windows shortcuts. God knows I hate emacs with the hatred of a thousand burning suns. 🙂 ---

Great suggestion - this will be part of the next release: [GUI - improve Windows shortcuts · sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi@594c5e4 · GitHub](https://github.com/sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi/commit/594c5e4c0a7a445fff628787348a281909dd9f89)
