Question

Lightroom Cloud based. Keyboard short cut keys Z for pick and X for reject stopped working. (P has never worked as pick on my system)

Simply, my pick Z and reject X keyboard shortcuts no longer work after several years. P for pick has not worked in the past and does not work now. The problem applies to both bluetooth and wired keyboards I tested.

    @Sameer K Thank you very much for your reply. Tested all and, embarrassingly, now all are working. I have been taking lots of shots recently. I suspect the problem may have been me working on images and attempting to pick or reject before they had synced. I need to be patient.

    Thanks again. It is great to get a response dealing specifically with Lightroom CC (old name) rather than always being directed to Lightroom Classic advice.

    I’m also experiencing this - making my import and filter take twice as long! Please help! I tried the disable single key too, but it was already unchecked. I ticked it and unticked but no result.

    Hey, @dcjm54. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out.


    Are these the only keyboard shortcuts that don't work? Do CMD, OPT, and Shift shortcuts work as expected? Please check in Lightroom Preferences > Interface > uncheck 'Disable Single-key Shortcuts.'


    Thanks!
