P: x keyboard shortcut is assigned to two functions in Library module [Swedish language]

In LR 2015.7 the "X" key is assigned to two functions in the library module:

  • Reject photo (Foto/Ange flagga/Avvisad)
  • Show info (Visa/Format för stödrastervisning/Visa information)

Now, this is a total screw-up since the X (=Reject) function is SUPERIMPORTANT to every workflow. Unfortunately, when you press X the other function has priority. Luckily, Shift-X still works to reject a photo and jump to next.

My guess is that this is only in the Swedish version (any maybe some other obscure languages) or you'd have a huge mob right outside 345 Park Avenue in San Jose.

Come on Adobe! Just have an intern check the keyboard shortcuts before you release! Or even better, give us shortcut customization. Arrrgh... 😞

    Thank you for this info, John! 
    - The x keyboard shortcut does work for Swedish version (CC 2015.9 / 6.9) as well! 
    Happy! 🙂

    This appears to be fixed in CC 2015.9 / 6.9.  The release notes say only that it was fixed for French, but examining the TranslatedStrings.txt file, it looks like it was fixed for Swedish too.   Please post here if 2015.9 / 6.9 doesn't fix the issue.

    For French and Dutch, please see this separate bug report: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lr-2015cc-8-short-cut-x-to-reject-an-image-in...  If you me-too and follow that topic, workarounds will be posted there, and you'll get updates when Adobe fixes it.

    Just to clarify for others, editing TranslatedStrings doesn't work for LR running in English on Mac in CC 2015.8 / 6.8.  It does work for LR running in English on Windows, and it works for all other languages on both Mac and Windows.  See this bug report: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom-translatedstrings-lr-en-us-txt-not-...

    The shortcut X is assigned to show Extra and Reject Photo.

    Unfortunately, this does not work anymore. since they switched from "TranslatedStrings.txt" to a individually localized version like "TranslatedStrings_Lr_de_DE.txt". I used this trick to use the english version of Lightroom but have the German keyboard shortcuts.

    2015.8 fixed the x key for me. Finaly, took way to long time to fix this. Adobe should really look in to a more agile workflow for bug fixes. Better yet don't release things with this kind of bugs if you don't have the ability to correct it fast.

    Theres no reason why Adobe can't push tiny fixes like this via CC.
