Shortcuts and workflow function missing in Bridge 2023 - metadata

[NathanVA]

I am running a 2017 Macbook Pro with Monterey 12.6.

Since 2005 I have been able to press Command+alt+shift+i to open the metadata dialogue, and add descriptions, keywords, copyright notices, location info, etc. to groups of images and videos.

That option is still available in Photoshop when working on a single file, but it seems to have been removed from Bridge 2023. The metadata and keyword panels that open by default on the lower right of the Bridge 2023 interface are clunky, and add WAY more time to my workflow. Can Adobe please add this function back into Bridge? 

Furthermore, I used to be able to press command and select a variety of images unsequentially by dragging my mouse over a few at a time. Now, that function doesn't work, and each mouse click clears the previous selection and selects anew, forcing me to click each image I want individually. The amount of time this adds is very frustrating. 

Also, please do something about Bridge crashing when I try to delete or rename a lot of images. I have ended up using finder to delete images in lieu of Bridge, which also adds an unwanted/unnecessary amount of time to my workflow.

command + i should open the metadata dialogue (File Info)

Best renaming app R-Name.  Works fine with your system, and back many years.  Many options for renaming.  Bridge is very cumbersom.
