P: German keyboard shortcut for Group Into Stack broken

[LR 8.0 broke this again, and Adobe has reopened the bug. See All Replies.]

LR 7.4 broke the keyboard shortcut for Group Into Stack for German. For previous versions, it was assigned to Cmd/Ctrl+G. But in 7.4, Preferences is also assigned to Cmd+G (Preferences was previously assigned to Cmd+W).

The workaround (and Adobe's fix) is to change this line in TranslatedStrings_Lr_de_DE.txt:

"$$$/Application/Menu/Edit/Preferences/KeyWin=Cmd+g"

back to the original:

"$$$/Application/Menu/Edit/Preferences/KeyWin=Cmd+W"

(LR 7.4 makes no other assignments to Cmd+W.)  See this article for editing TranslatingStrings:

Yet again, no quality assurance for changes to keyboard shortcuts. At a minimum, before allowing a change to TranslatedStrings to be checked into the main branch, there should two people doing a "diff" and reviewing each edit.

    ...and I checked the TranslatedStrings file, and it looks correct.  I'll mark this as Solved.

    After installing Lightroom Classic CC (8.2) the issue seems to be fixed. I've tested the shortcut CTRL + G and it worked fine.

    Unfortunately, you'll have to apply the workaround described in the first post.

    After installing the update to Lightroom 8 the problem is back again.

    The workaround to fix is the same as wrote above.



    Changing this line in TranslatedStrings_Lr_de_DE.txt:

    "$$$/Application/Menu/Edit/Preferences/KeyWin=Cmd+g"

    back to the original:

    "$$$/Application/Menu/Edit/Preferences/KeyWin=Cmd+W"

    I've installed the update to version 7.5. The shortcut ctrl + G is working now. I thin the issue was solved.

    Lightroom Classic CC 7.5 was released today and should address this issue.  If you don’t see the update in your Creative Cloud App, hit the [Ctrl/Cmd]+ [Alt/Opt]+[R] to force a refresh. 

    Give the new version a try and let us know if it solves the issue.
