Nope, even the default does not work.

It seems that there are two places where you need to enter CTRL-SHIFT-1 for Edit > Tools > Normal.
The first place you already took care of in the Global section. The second place is in TrackView. You will also need to enter CTRL-SHIFT-1 in that group for Edit > Tools > Normal. When you click the Add button, there will be duplicate shortcuts listed. This seems to be okay. Now when you press CTRL-SHIFT-1 the cursor should change to Normal whether the track has the focus or not.

@Robert Johnston I tested it here and it doesn't work. Even inserting the shortcut in all sessions.
This must be some programming problem. Because he always goes to the right position but with the current option not the one that was chosen.

Okay. I think I'm on the same page as you now.
I found this: The other situation you can assign CTRL-SHIFT-1 to is Edit > Tool > Trim (TrackView, TrackList, Global, Explorer). That seems to put the cursor back to the real Normal Edit Tool. So, Edit > Tool > Trim is the same as Edit > Tool > Normal.
Make sure Edit > Tool > Normal doesn't have the same shortcut as Edit > Tool > Trim. Otherwise, it won't work.

Don't have any shortcut for Edit > Tool > Normal. Instead, use CTRL-SHIFT-1 for Edit > Tool > Trim. It won't work if you have the same thing in Edit > Tool > Normal. Also, make sure you didn't select just Edit > Trim. You need Edit > Tool > Trim.
Then slide can be Ctrl-Shift-2, etc. After you press Ctrl-Shift-2, you'll see the icon change back from slide to Normal when you press Ctrl-Shift-1.
Just make sure to clear the shortcut from all sessions for Edit > Tool > Normal.
That works!

Now I got it! It's not Tool > Normal to go to the normal cursor tool it's in Trim... that's strange, but ok. it works.

I just needed to make the shortcut in trim and slide to do what I wanted, I would never know that. I thought it was to do the shortcut normally. lol
