Quick Comp Markers 1-3 aren't working

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.

    Update 29 Oct 2020
    Fixes for several problems where holding the Option/Alt key incorrect activated the camera tool are now available in After Effects Beta, build 17.5.1×41 or later. You can test these fixes by installing or updating After Effects Beta via the Creative Cloud desktop app.

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