Hi

I got a pretty weird issue, hoping it has an easy fix. When i open lightroom in develop mode, i can browse my pictures with the arrow keys on my keyboard(PC). But if i go to library and back to develop, they do not work if i copy develop settings, or delete an image. Then i have to select the next picture with my mouse. This slows my workflow down A LOT. So every time i visit my library and go back to develop, i must close LR and open it again. The same problem on both my laptop and desktop. Tried all general solutions like reinstalling, updating etc.

Thanks in advance

Inquiry, does it behave differently if the CAPS Lock is on or off?

For it to be consistent it has to be used with the command key. Otherwise sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Typical Lightroom.

WOW! Toggling caps lock on and off fixes the issue, THANK YOU! I hope I can remember that. Sorry to stir up an old thread. I usually hit reply and it goes through a bunch of login issues, then I can post. I find this forum is a bit quirky, but the members are great. 😉

I don't have any insight into why the behavior or left- and right-arrow changes in Develop. But the keystroke Cmd + Left/Right-Arrow (Mac) or Ctrl + Left/Right-Arrow (Windows) should reliably move to the previous/next photo while in Develop.

Here it is 2019 and just started to run into this at least a few months ago. Specifically when I copy settings to paste to the next photo. I can no longer just hit the right arrow to go to it and paste. How do we get some more attention to this issue?!
