Delete key

Until recently, when I pressed the Delete key, Lightroom would correctly show the option to delete the selected photo (e.g. “Remove from Album” or “Delete from All Photos”).

However, after I accidentally pressed something on the keyboard, the Delete key now only triggers “Delete Album” — even when a single photo is selected.

@VratislavJ. 
If you press the Command key you will see the difference in Delete and Remove under Edit shortcuts.
We have different shortcuts for different cases since, either:
* Remove (from Album) - Option key + Delete
or
Delete - Delete key

Thanks,
Ignacio

Thanks, Ignacio. 

 

It's worth noting the way the keyboard menu display works the way Ignacio describes in iOS 18 and older, but changed in iOS 26 per my notes above.

If you could share a screenshot or screen recording showing what you see it may help.  With my own iPad  and external keyboard, I can only get images to display a deletion dialog.  I can't figure out how you are seeing Delete Album

 

My iPad is updated to iPad OS 26, and if yours is too, you can see a menu of what keyboard shortcuts are possible by pressing globe/function + M
