P: Shift+K does add/remove "shortcut keyword", but gives no more visual feedback (popup)

[Gernot Werner]

use case: I want to browse a set of photos and incrementally add some keyword, this involves going back and removing the same keyword.

Background: I am using Lightroom 14.3.1 (latest) on Windows (Windows 10 version 22H2 Build 19045.5737). Lightroom language is english.

Feature in question: For quickly setting keywords, there is the "keyword shortcut" feature, which exists since at least Lightroom 6 and speeds up work a lot.
I am aware that you must first press Ctr+Alt+Shift+K to set the "keyword shortcut", then you can press Shift+K on an in dividual picture to add/remove it.
I am in Library module, Loupe view when I use this feature.

expected behaviour: when pressing Shift+K, keyword is added/removed and a small popup is displayed. Popup similar to pressing "P" or "U", giving "Flag as Pick" or "Remove Flag".

actual behaviour: the shortcut keyword is added or removed but I see that only if I have the "keywording" panel open. There is no popup.
If I do not have the "keywording" panel open, I get no feedback at all.

additional information:
To my knowledge, Lightroom Classic keyboard shortcuts are documented in https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/keyboard-shortcuts.html

I had a chat conversation with an agent on 2025-05-11 (case number ADB-39878980-K4J6)
in which the agent wrote: "in Lightroom Classic, Shift+K is the shortcut for "Toggle between Full Screen with Menubar, Full Screen, and Normal screen mode". If Shift+K is not working, there might be a conflict with another shortcut."
I do not find that feature in above list of keyboard shortcuts. If it is a new addition, it is a conflict with the existing feature. But I am not convinced that this new feature really exists, it would be a mixture of Ctrl + Shift + F ("Switch between Normal and full-screen, hide panels") and F ("Cycle screen modes")

Appeal:
Please bring back the traditional behaviour of Shift+K (add/remove keyword AND display informative popup about the action) which greatly improves the speed of working with a set of pictures.

'the agent wrote: "in Lightroom Classic, Shift+K is the shortcut for "Toggle between Full Screen with Menubar, Full Screen, and Normal screen mode". If Shift+K is not working, there might be a conflict with another shortcut."'

The support agent is wrong (an unfortunately common occurrence).  Shift K is assigned to the command Metadata > Toggle Shortcut Keyword:

The agent was apparently thinking of the command Window > Screen Mode > Next Screen Mode, which is assigned to Shift F, not Shift K:

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, please consider moving to Bugs.

The bezel notification displayed by Toggle Shortcut Keyword was present through LR 12.1 but disappeared in LR 12.2 and later.  See the attached screen recording.

Note that I tried my best to report this in "bugs", I even switched to Edge when the click would not work in Firefox due to a javascript problem (of the form). I am disappointed to see that it now appears under "discussion". 

When I read this posting correctly: P: Do I post in Discussions or Bugs? - Adobe Community - 13691887 it seems that more people have this problem and it is not a user problem but rather of the discussion page. So please dear forum moderators, move this to "bugs" (I cannot).

Thanks so far to the additional information @johnrellis
