Preferences > Keyboard Increment in 29.7

[jmyjazz]

For years (and years), I’ve been hitting Command+K to bring up Preferences and immediately change the keyboard increment. The input box for keyboard increment used to be auto-selected, allowing me to type a new value without any extra clicks.

In the just-installed version 29.7, Command+K still opens Preferences, but now it auto-selects the search input instead. Is there any way to restore the old behaviour?

Personally, I use search only occasionally, whereas I change the keyboard increment multiple times a day. This change feels like a step backwards in terms of productivity.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share an update, Illustrator 29.8 is now available. I tested it on my end and the Command+K shortcut once again opens Preferences with the Keyboard Increment field auto-selected, just like before. Please update when you get a chance, try it out in your workflows, and let us know if it's working smoothly for you too.

Looking forward to your confirmation.

Its about time to redesign the preferences panel. It has been a mess for ages! Nothing user friendly!

Mistakes like the "Preferences > Keyboard Increment in 29.7" as mentioned buy jmyjazz. Are a pure lack of concern… I lost (And I believe other designers as well) hours trying to understand what happened… Not working. I believe thats what illustrator is for…

I use Illustrator sice the 3.0 version (I belive). If you change the commands, (some I can understand), but changing the commands that are working for ages… Makes no sense. Please pay all attention to impove, and not "destroy"  the workflow that it's woking since the begining!

Sometimes I looks like it's another program… Like Corel, or the decieved Freehand… That I've never liked!
