A view to a collection does not stay in its numerical position after a visit to another collection!

Question

Hi! Not using much Lightroom, mostly with PS, I'm surprised that when I make collections for arranging photos in their (sub)collections, I lose the position in the original/starting collection, that is, when I'm at the number 100 in the starting collection, and I get back after visiting a (sub)collection, I'm somewhere else in the starting collection, let's say at a photo 10. Very frustrating. Scrolling and trying to remember where I was, among some 1k photos. In other words, the collections do not appear to keep their views but they jump somewhere with no sense. What is this??? Regards, Tuomas

Make sure you enter three spaces and then the exact title of the command, including case:

The screenshot shows that the full name of the commands has been elided with "...", but you need to enter the full names.

OK! I just had forgotten to put those 3 empty spaces - poor me. An additional surprise to me was - and I don't know if this is really true 😁 - that I didn't succeed in making one of the two shortcuts with my Logitech K380 keyboard 🤨 which I've found earlier to work unreliably in certain contexts. Using Apple's product the other shortcut also began functioning. Thanks, John!!!

You might find the Any Source plugin's Back and Forward commands useful. They go back and forward in the history of the current source (folder or collection), selection, and filter settings. So when you visit a subcollection, you can invoke the Back command to go back to the starting collection, with the photos previously selected again selected (and visible). I've got them assigned to Ctrl B and Ctrl F on my Mac.
