Send to back/front keyboard shortcuts not working in Illustrator

[graphicsc45927912]

Until today I was able to send objects to front/back with the keyboard shortcuts, no matter if I had each object on separate layers. Now it only works if I go to the layers section and move the object from its own layer. Otherwise doesn't work. Does anyone have any idea why is that?

As far as I recall these keyboard commands have always worked just for the layer that they are on. In other words an object on a lower level will not go to the front of an object on an upper level using the key commands. It will appear that the key commands are bringing the object to the front of an upper level object if the two objects are not actually overlapping one another.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing. As Bill mentioned above, following shortcuts only work if the objects are in the same layer. 

Let us know if you if have any additional questions, we'll be happy to help.

Regards,

I have this same problem and I cant edit menu commands in keyboard shortcuts. Both selections on my artboard are on the same layer but I cant get the shortcut to work. I can use Object- Arrange- Bring to front or back... just no shortcut. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

The same problema for me in Portuguese-BR keyboard.

Hey, I solved the problem on a TR keyboard. Its Ctrl + Ü for bring front, Ctrl + Ğ for opposite. Just try Ctrl + ... combinations on your keyboard and you'll find the correct one eventually.

Hello, until the latest update the keyboard shortcuts for rearranging objects worked fine on my Czech keyboard. But after latest release these particular keyboard shortcuts stopped working. I've recently updated my MacOs to Monterey also, maybe the problem is there. Any suggestions?

Same to me... It looks like localized keyboard problem. After change to US it works, but you know... it’s a bad solution.

as for a sollution, I would recommend temporarily grouping those objects. They will probably go to the layer of the object that's on top.
