Hello,

I am using the latest bridge 2019 version. I can't type numbers when I want to rename a files. Bridge uses always hotkeys and numbers are not typed. Same thing in the search bar. In 2018 everything is ok.

How can i fix it?

thanks

    This is not a fix to the real bug or magic fix. The bug is Adobe changed the way keyboard entry works and broke the ability to enter numbers into the rename area when Require the Control Key to Apply Labels and Ratings is unchecked.

    Never in the last 10 years has unchecking the "Require the Control Key..." impacting typing numbers into the rename filename area. This is a bug that creates a terrible change in user experience. Please fix the problem, not workarounds that are sub-optimal.

      YEsss exactly. Why do we need the Ratings feature to be on (and we cannot type) when what we want to do is to type the numbers?

      It's like, when we are trying to use the brush tool and the clone tool feature is on.

      Just do the right thing at the right time, and off the unnecessary features when we don't need it.

      Hi,

      I know about this option. But it does not suit me. it is not convenient for me to press control. In version 2018  was everything ок and there was no conflict.

      Am I right, this problem cannot be fixed without using Ctrl?

        If you have the labels hotkeys set to use numbers, then yes that's how it will work.
