Misspellings of keyboard shortcuts in LR 13.2 Help

LR 13.2 introduced many incorrectly spelled keyboard shortcuts displayed in Help, e.g. Ctrl + Tab instead of Control + Tab for Cycle Upright Mode in Windows / English, and Befehlstaste + Wahltaste + X instead of Befehl + Wahl + X for Open As Smart Object in German. The affected commands include Loupe - Locked, Cycle Upright Mode, Open As Smart Object, and Point Color Selector, with each language having at least one misspelling.


The attached spreadsheet shows the complete list, with these columns:

You can use the Any Shortcut plugin's Analyze command to find all such misspellings.

    I do not see this as a problem with the KB Shortcut menu  [ Control + / ]

     

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

    What is wrong with Ctrl? That is the label on the key. If you insist on 'Control' you will also need to have 'Tabulator' for Tab.

    For each language, LR uses a consistent spelling for each key name. In English, it uses "Control" for the control key, so the recent addition of "Ctrl + Tab" is inconsistent with its established spellings:

    Surely such sloppiness isn't intended (as-designed) by the LR product manager.

      Almost all of these were fixed in LR 13.2, but many new ones were introduced in LR 13.3.  I'll file a new bug report.
