I encounter an issue with the latest update (V11) on shortcuts to assign a color label (6,7,8,9).
Those shortcuts won't anymore assign a color label, it will now only remove the color label.
The shortcut "Assign a color label and go to next photo" (Shift+6 to 9) still work well as previously.
Please fix this adobe, my culling speed depend on it.
Thanks in advance,

Bonjour la communauté
Depuis pas mal de temps, lorsque j'applique les notes aux photos avec le clavier numérique Apple (droite), la note s'applique a deux photos de suite.
Je suis donc obligé de le faire avec les chiffres en haut du clavier.
Avez-vous une idée de la raison ?
Merci

Je viens d'installer la version 12.5 et ça le fait toujours.
Mac OS Ventura 13.4

Are you on a French AZERTY keyboard? There's a longstanding bug with using the numeric keypad on AZERTY keyboards. You can switch to a QWERTY keyboard or you can use this workaround to make the top-row keys act like the top-row keys of a QWERTY keyboard:

On a French AZERTY keyboard, when Photo > Auto Advance is set, typing 1 through 5 on the numeric keypad sets the star rating of the current photo and the next photo and then advances to the third photo. See the attached screen recording.

Tested on LR 12.4 / Mac OS 13.4 with an Apple Magic Keyboard (French AZERTY) and US English keyboard. To reproduce:

1. Connect a French AZERTY keyboard with numeric keypad.

2. Select French as the current keyboard input method:

3. In LR, go to Library Grid view, select the first photo, and type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the numeric keypad. Observe that each time, two photos get the star rating and the third photo is selected.

4. If you don't have a French AZERTY keyboard with numeric keypad, attach a US English keyboard with numeric keypad and leave the current keyboard input method at French.

5. In LR, go to Library Grid view, select the first photo, and type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on the numeric keypad. Observe that each time, two photos get the star rating and the third photo is selected.

Steps 4 and 5 show the bad behavior with my Apple Magic Keyboard (US English), not sure how it might behave with other US English keyboards.

A workaround is to turn off Photo > Auto Advance. Then typing 1 - 5 on the numeric keypad will assign a star rating without advancing. Typing 1 - 5 using the top-row keys (Shift &, Shift é, etc.) will assign the star rating and auto advance.

Hi, with Auto Advance turned on. For example, when I mark a photo with a star, it happens that the next photo is marked with a star and it automatically jumps to the next, ie the third photo in a row.

Thank you for your help.

Macbook PRO and iMac.

I just switched back to Mac after years on Win and I'm scared how bad is the support from Adobe and Apple. Bug seems to exists for years already and I face it on fresh new Mac and Ligtroom.

I'm surprised this problem is not solved yet... I just voted for it.

The workaround I found uses "BetterTouchTool" software.

I just assigned - only for Lightroom - for each numpad key a shortcut with the non-numpad equivalent.

(for example Pad6 -> Shift §)

This seems to work properly.

I'd prefer Adobe to solve the issue though 🙂

Bonjour,

A priori le problème ne se présente que lorsqu'on utilise un clavier non Qwerty (Azerty par exemple) avec MacOs en configuration Anglaise (ou US). C'est un bug reconnu par Adobe mais qui touche un trop faible nombre d'utilisateurs pour qu'ils semblent s'en préoccuper (cela remonte déjà à + de 2 ans). Enfin il ne faut pas perdre espoir :-).

Dans mon cas j'ai trouvé un contournement en programant ces touches de (6 à 9) sur ma tablette Wacom.

Autrement si vous changez la langue au niveau de Mac OS pour revenir en français cela devrait résoudre le problème (dans mon cas je préfère rester en configuration anglaise). N'hesitez pas à faire un Upvote pour sensibiliser Adobe. J.M

Have you tried resetting the preference file as described in Method 1 at https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/setting-preferences-lightroom.html

@malphas59 c'est pas acceptable qu'ils donnent cette réponse, c'est un bug majeur. J'ai voté mais ça ne fais que 7 vote en tout. On doit être forcément plus a constater le bug. Si vous avez ouvert un canal d'échange avec eux pensez-vous qu'il ne faudrait pas faire un post sur leurs page Facebook pour faire réagir plus de monde, non? Merci

J'ai contacté Adobe par le Facebook (à première vue, seule manière d'avoir un retour rapide).

Le bug est connu, mais il n'y a pas eu assez de votant pour qu'il soit ajouté à une release.

Pouvez-vous tous voter pour le faire traiter?
Merci

To summarize, on Mac OS, with a French AZERTY keyboard and the Mac OS keyboard set to French, the numeric keypad keys 6 - 9 don't work correctly to set color labels red, yellow, green, and blue.

As a workaround while waiting for Adobe to fix this (if ever), use the Any Shortcut plugin to reassign the top row keys to act like the top-row keys of a QWERTY keyboard for LR shortcuts:

- Assign & é " ' ( and à to the commands 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Stars.

- Assign Shift &, Shift é, Shift ", Shift ', Shift (, and Shift à to the commands 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Stars and Advance.

- Assign § è ! and ç to the commands Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue.

- Assign Shift §, Shift è, Shift !, and Shift ç to the commands Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue and Advance.

Now, for example, typing & will assign 1 star, and typing Shift & will assign 1 star and move to the next photo. Typing § will assign the red color label, and Shift § will assign the red label and move to the next photo.

bonjour,

sur macOS 12.1 - LrC 11.1 - Camera Raw 14.1 :

les touches 6 à 9 n'attibuent pas de libellé couleur

et indiquent le supprimer quand aucun libellé couleur n'est attrribué à la photo

(ou suppriment le libellé couleur lorsque l'on en choisit un différent)

bonne année 2022 à vous tous,

Google translation: "Hello, sur macOS 12.1 - LrC 11.1 - Camera Raw 14.1 : keys 6 to 9 do not assign a color label and indicate to delete it when no color label is attributed to the photo (or remove the color label when choosing a different one) happy new year 2022 to all of you"

In my LR 11.1 / Mac OS 11.6, the keys 6 - 9 correctly toggle the label colors, when Preferences > General > Language is set to both English and Français. Troubleshooting steps:

1. Try resetting LR's preferences:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

2. If that doesn't help, please do the menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the first 10 lines here.
