In my workflow, I use quick comp markers all the time. Hitting Shift+1, Shift+2, and Shift+3 no longer does anything in v17.5.0 on Windows. I tried on two different computers from fresh installs. Any other Shift+# works fine.
Has anyone else had this problem and know of a remedy?
The 1-6 keys in the number row now, by default, activate the new camera navigation tools and 3D transform gizmo modes. There is a preference to disable this and return the 1-6 keyboard shortcuts to navigate to the 1-6 markers. Go to Preferences > 3D and disable the "Use 1/2/3 for navigation and 4/5/6 for transform gizmos" option.

Using the number keys to add a numbered marker is gone. The asterisk key still adds a marker. Holding down Control (mac) or the same key on Windows plus 8 still works. Check your keyboard shortcuts editor and search for markers. The current Beta works with Shift +4 through 0 on my Mac.

Thank you! Also, thank the AE team for retaining that functionality as an option.

My AE does not remember this preference for some reason -- I would uncheck it, then it'd reset it when I reboot AE. How do I make a permanent change?

That's unusual. I'm not experiencing this problem on my machine, so I'd like to explore this further with you. Can you please tell me:
I'd also like you to try resetting the preferences, and if that doesn't solve the problem, I'd like to get copies of the preferences files in the before/after states. Please follow these instructions:
Please DM me via this forum and send me the three copies of the 18.2 preferences folder, "Fresh 18.2", "3D options disabled 18.2", and "Problem state 18.2". The files aren't large, but you can zip them up if that's helpful.

I love how you guys keep arbitrarily changing things. Being constantly slowed down is a GREAT way of working. Top notch!!!
