P: Lock Pixels Layer with German Keyboard

So Im using a german keyboard and I always used to press the "ß" button to lock the pixels on a layer. This button is also for the "?". But in the newest PS version this doesnt work anymore and it seems like you cant set a shortcut for it either.
And no "/" doesnt work. I can only click on the icon which is very annoying.

I'm guessing that a custom script & custom keyboard shortcut could probably work around this until fixed if there was need.

Hi @nicok6884937 try resetting your preferences. Go to Preferences/General and click the reset button.

Otherwise, this seems like this is a similar issue with some noted solutions:

Hi @nicok6884937 It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

 

Thank you,
