Hi guys,
All the keyboard shortcut lists I find for Cloud Based Lightroom show that "O" should cycle overlays. Whether I have Crop, Brush, Healing etc selected.. "O" simply does nothing. I have to right click and select "Cycle Overlay" every time.
I'm using version 3.2.1. on Windows.
Please help if you have any suggestions - much appreciated!
Not sure why it stopped working but having to right-click must be annoying. You may need to re-set the prfes so quit Lightroom. Then re-launch the app while holding down the Shift+Alt keys. Click yes to do the reset.

You need to do some brushing. The selective tools (brush, gradient, radial) will show a red mask overlay after brushing/dragging as well as tool overlay.

Thanks for your reply!
I have done some brushing, but I have to right click and select "cycle overlay" to see the red mask and/or tool overlay. Simply pressing "O" does not do anything at all. Other keyboard shortcuts seem to work.
It used to work.. but now it doesn't!

This didn't work for me... any ideas. Also right clicking doesn't work, I do have the crop tool selected. Thank you

I had the same problem - I solved it like @99jon said. Thanks!

I had the same issue as OP, additionally, the tutorials available through the help section would freeze up after a random number of steps. Using 99jon's solution solved both problems!! Now if only we reset the prefs on 2020 as easily 😛
Thank you 99jon!
