Arrow keys are not working

The arrow keys are no longer working. I use them a lot to rasie and lower things like exposure, contrast, and shadows. I am using a Mac with lightroom classic 10.4 release. How do I fix this? TIA

Hi @kate2kate, 

 

You can also use , and . to move between basic panel settings and then use - and = to change them. 

 

Have you done a full computer restart?

For a future reader, the arrow keys work differently depending on what subtab of develop is selected. For instance, one has to exit the masking subtab to use the arrow keys to move forward on the filmstrip.

      That's good to know. For some reason it is just working again. I know it was probably something I did but I have no idea what. Thanks for the reply.

      - You're remembering to type up- and down-arrow, not left- or right-arrow?

       

      - Is either the number to the right of the slider selected when you hit the arrow keys:

       

      or is the slider indicator highlighted blue?
