Question

How do you hide edit pins in the new Lightroom?

running Lightroom version 9.2 (not classic).

Adobe has decided the “H” key should now be AI-remove rather than “hide all your editing pins”.

shift-H is the color picker.

the “preferences” panel is no help at all.

so when i’m trying to mask and can’t do anything because too many mask indicators are in my way and Lightroom decides i must want to drag them all over the place rather than mask in an adjacent area - what is the new shortcut to HIDE edit pins?

unfortunately “this is a masking workflow issue, try masking differently” isn’t an answer

    It changed to Ctrl-o on a PC and Cmd-o on a Mac. If you click on the three dots where you can change the overlay color of the mask, then you also have a menu that you can use (and shows you the new keyboard shortcut).
